This year saw 10 HKDSA members attached to five departments during the month-long programme. After a briefing by HKDSA social workers about Down Syndrome, our team members then worked alongside the HKDSA members for the month, learning about the challenges Down Syndrome individuals face when performing daily tasks. This positive, inclusive programme brought joy and camaraderie to everyone who participated. Age Inclusion Workshop Age is one of the five diversity focus areas at Swire Properties, part of our pledge to create an age-neutral, multi-generational workplace. To increase awareness about the benefits of such a workplace, we arranged an age inclusion Lunch and Learn workshop called “Purpose Through the Ages” led by a leadership coach. Various discussions and exercises helped the participants discover how values and purposes evolve as one moves through different life stages, and learn how to connect with colleagues of all ages in order to develop greater empathy for others and create a more inclusive environment. Celebrating Black History Month For the first time, Brickell City Centre hosted a month-long celebration honouring Black History Month. Partnering with the South Florida People of Color organisation, the mall hosted a weekly performance art series honouring Black culture. Every Friday evening in February, the mall’s Garden Deck was transformed into a performing arts centre which celebrated a different culture each week. Performances included singing, dancing and instrumental performances from cultures represented throughout Miami. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2022 114
