In wake of the SARS outbreak in Hong Kong, the Committee on the Promotion of Civic Education has set up an ad hoc working group to co-ordinate civic education and publicity work to combat SARS. The slogan "Do Your Bit for the Good of All" is adopted in a number of publicity activities to enhance civic awareness and responsibility.

    You Light up my Life - a record of SARS outbreak in Hong Kong

    Hong Kong people have coped with the challenges posed by SARS infection during the period of March to June 2003 with resilience, vigilance and unity. To promulgate and sustain such values in our community, the Committee on the Promotion of Civic Education and the Education and Manpower Bureau have jointly compiled a book entitled "You Light up my Life". The book seeks to promote and stimulate thoughts of such values, with a view to enhancing the civic-mindedness of the general public.

    The book is now available at the Civic Education Resource Centre. It has also been distributed to all schools as teaching and reference materials.
