Areas of Focus: Inclusive Learning

Inclusive learning recognises that young people learn in many different places and in different ways—like classrooms, online, from their peers and in their communities—and that their needs are unique. Our programmes aim to provide quality learning experiences that celebrate diversity, encourage everyone to participate, and eliminate obstacles, so that young people can gain the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in a dynamic world.  Inclusive Learning emphasies practical skills which prepare young people for a variety of future opportunities.

EMpower supports local efforts to create safe and inclusive learning spaces, both online and offline, where all young people can succeed, regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, migration status, ethnicity, caste, religion, or physical ability .

We support local partners that provide:

  • Academic support in and outside the classroom
  • Teacher training and professional development
  • Training in transferable skills such as digital literacy, and international languages

Grantee Partner Spotlight

The Women Foundation (TWF), Hong Kong

Social stereotypes and biases often discourage girls from pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). In Hong Kong, boys are four times more likely to pursue STEM degrees or careers, limiting opportunities for young women.  Since 2004, The Women’s Foundation (TWF) has addressed this gap by training girls and young women in job readiness and coding through self-directed online courses. With EMpower's support, TWF enhances its Girls Go Tech (GGT) programme, offering hands-on STEM activities, mentorship, and online tutoring.

Through our partnership with TWF, we enable young women to break stereotypes, develop essential skills, and explore new opportunities for brighter futures.
