BFB #OneWorld Choir
BFB #OneWorld Choir is one of the activities under a youth empowerment program named BFB #OneWorld Program. This program is about promoting diversity, inclusion and friendships among children, youth and parents through collaborating with immigrant communities, parent groups, and schools. In this program we also focus on promoting support and advocacy for individuals with disabilities and their families, who are from the diverse communities that have been overlooked and underserved.
BFB#OneWorld Choir is aiming to demonstrate an inclusive practice through singing together with effort to respect and support every participant.
We are looking for family participants (Parents &/or Children above 7 years old) and student volunteers (12 years old above) with diverse backgrounds to create this opportunity together for all of us to learn from each other! Student volunteers could 1) sing in the choir; 2) play some instrument for the choir; or 3)peer up with the special needs kids and support them to be involved etc.
This program is funded by
the Tower Foundation. It is FREE for all participants.
During the 2023-2024 school year, the choir rehearsal will last from September 2023 to May 2024 on Friday evening on a weekly basis. If you and your family are interested, please move on to fill in the form and let us know more about you and your family.
Choir rehearsal will take place throughout the school year. Practice will be held on Friday evenings on a weekly basis. If you’d like to know more about our current timeline, please email us at
