Intercultural Hong Kong Series: Feeling South Asian 跨文化香港系列：南亞心。情

In 2013, Prof. Siumi Maria Tam launched the Multiculturalism in Action Project, with an aim to raise awareness of the ethnic and cultural diversity in Hong Kong. Focusing on the South Asian communities (Indian, Nepali, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and Sri Lankan), some of the most socially marginalized groups in the city, and believing in the power of cultural knowledge and hands-on experience, her group tried to enhance ethnic sensibility through partnership, mutual empowerment, and sustainability.

This short film features cultural practices of the South Asian groups and the challenges they face in religion, education, and healthcare. The film points out the importance of intercultural education if Hong Kong is to live up to its name as a metropolis, and shows that it is both learnable and practicable.

為提高公眾對香港的不同族群及多元文化的認識，譚少薇教授自2013年開展了多元文化行動計劃。透過研究被主流社會邊緣化的南亞裔社群（印度裔、尼泊爾裔、巴基斯坦裔、孟加拉裔及斯里蘭卡裔），並運用文化知識及體驗活動教學，譚教授及她的團隊嘗試以夥伴計劃、互相充權及可持續發展，以提高社會的族群敏感度。

這短片記錄了南亞裔社群的文化習俗，並探討他們在進行宗教習俗、接受教育及使用醫療服務時面對的挑戰。短片亦指出跨文化教育對於香港作為國際大都會的重要性，並展示跨文化教學的例子。
