We cordially invite social welfare colleagues, scholars, students, fund representatives, and service users to attend the upcoming seminar, covering many important topics. One of the highlights of this seminar is that Prof. LU Shiyu will deliver a speech titled "Sustainable Development of Time Banks in Hong Kong from the Experiences of Various Countries", delving into the development potential of time banks and their impact on society. The seminar will also feature group discussions, where participants can choose one of three main themes for in-depth exchange: "From Community Economy to Community Mutual Aid - Finding Opportunities in Challenges", "How Time Banks Respond to the Needs of the Elderly - Co-learning, Co-living, Co-sharing, and Co-gathering", and "Participation and Mobilization of Elderly People in Different Developmental Stages".
