香港在1997年前是英國殖民地，也因此曾是英聯邦的一部份。現代的英聯邦組織始自1949年，成員國除英國外，還有加拿大、澳洲、新加坡、印度等。但如果英聯邦不僅是一個組織，而是一個世界，這個看似陌生的名字，其實離香港不遠。

羅銳潛博士在三月份的香港歷史沙龍，將與我們剖析香港與英聯邦世界被忽略的關係。英聯邦如何塑造香港教育？誰在兩處之間旅居、遷移？香港經濟發展和英聯邦有何關係？香港歷史與世界之間千絲萬縷，英聯邦是不顯眼但重要的一環。

Hong Kong, as a British colony until 1997, was part of the Commonwealth. The modern Commonwealth organisation began in 1949. Besides Britain, its member countries include Canada, Australia, Singapore and India, among others. But if the Commonwealth was not just an organisation but a world, this seemingly unfamiliar name might have been closer to Hong Kong than once thought.

In the third Hong Kong History Salon, Dr Tommy Lo will discuss with us the overlooked links between Hong Kong and the Commonwealth world. How did it shape Hong Kong education? Who were sojourning and migrating between Hong Kong and the Commonwealth? And what did the Commonwealth have to do with the city’s remarkable economic growth? Numerous ties connected Hong Kong history with the world; those with the Commonwealth were unobvious but important.
