Despite being an international city, studies show that the dominant cultural group in Hong Kong has
not been well-prepared to be global citizens. There is a need to cultivate inclusive values and respect
for diversity in Hong Kong. The purpose of this research study was to explore the effectiveness of an
intercultural learning program on a sample of Hong Kong Chinese secondary school students. Both the
quantitative and qualitative results showed that the student samples were not well adjusted to Hong
Kong’s multicultural nature, and in particular, to its ethnic minority groups. Implications are drawn for
theory, policy and practice in relation to the role of schools in promoting a more tolerant society.
