The Funds of Knowledge (FoK) website showcases the cultural, social, and experiential knowledge of Hong Kong’s ethnic minority (EM) communities, focusing on Indian, Nepali, Pakistani and Filipino families. FoK refers to the rich cultural knowledge, skills, values, and practices developed through everyday family and community life. Recognising these lived experiences as valuable educational and social resources helps promote a more inclusive, equitable, and culturally responsive Hong Kong.

Developed from research under the ‘C-for-Chinese@JC’ Project, the study involved 190 participants and generated more than 1,300 FoK statements through interviews and questionnaires. The findings are organised into four key domains and 11 sub-domains that reflect the diversity and strengths of Hong Kong’s EM communities.

Alongside research insights, the website also provides tools and learning materials to support social workers, educators and community practitioners in building more culturally responsive and inclusive practices.

The FoK insights presented here are based on the lived experiences of specific research participants. While deeply valuable, they represent only part of the broader EM experience. Cultural expressions and perspectives may vary even within the same community. Visitors are invited to explore this website with openness and reflection, using it as a starting point for continued learning, dialogue, and collaboration across cultures.
