Abstract

The purpose of this community service is to enhance the tax and customs literacy of pekerja migran Indonesia (PMI) or Indonesian migrant workers in Hong Kong through a workshop-based methodology. Such methodology is applied through training activities and/or group discussions. The goal is to help participants understand a topic, learn new skills, or find a joint solution to a problem. The community service workshop methodology consists of three main stages: 1) Planning, where the implementation team sets the design of the workshop; 2) Implementation, where the facilitators are involved in the materials delivery, discussion, and various interactive activities engagement; and 3) Evaluation and Follow-up. The learning materials and methods can improve participants' understanding and applicability of tax and customs concepts.
