Oxfam Education Centre
Established in 2005, Oxfam Education Centre provides a space for students, youths, and the public to explore poverty from multiple perspectives through experiential and inquiry-based learning. The centre fosters empathy and concern for marginalised communities. Over the years, we have organised more than 4,500 activities, engaging over 145,000 participants. In 2009, the centre was awarded the Gold Award for Arts Education (Non-School Division) by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council, a recognition widely endorsed by the education sector.
At the end of 2023, the centre relocated to Kwun Tong, where it continues to offer a wide range of educational activities, now enhanced by new technologies and its proximity to the local community.
