About Cultural Bloom
Cultural Bloom was founded in 2019 by people from different cultural backgrounds, races and occupations. The non-profitable organization is a registered society under the governance of the HKSAR. Cultural Bloom has cooperated with different famous organizations and schools such as BGCA, EdUHK and Kowloon Mosque. By organizing programmes and activities, the organization believes that cultural harmony can be reached and mutual understanding can be accomplished. Henceforth, friendships can be forged beyond colors.
Message from Founder and President:
Mr Yuen Chun Yan, Sam (袁雋殷先生）
Although Hong Kong is a cosmopolitan city, racial discrimination is a vital problem in society. There are many disputes and misunderstandings between the ethnic minorities and the locals. Therefore, Cultural Bloom has become a panacea to improve the status quo. By participating in various kinds of activities, people from different backgrounds can make friends with each other and eliminate the misunderstandings. When I look back on the progress of Cultural Bloom, the smiling faces are the most valuable thing. Please continue to support Cultural Bloom, making the city flourish together.
