From April 26 to 30, 2010, New World China Land, together with the Institute of Contemporary Observation (ICO), held new citizen series quality trainings for migrant workers of its in-progress projects in Guangzhou Region. 

The training focused on cultivating “learning capacity”, “development capacity”, “self protection capacity”, and “adaptability to city life” of migrant workers, and consisted of 2 courses totaling 120 minutes, Rights and Responsibilities in Work and Life and New Citizen ABC, with a view to raising their awareness in laws, rights, and citizens, and improving their adaptability to city life. 

The training interactions were conducted at construction sites of 4 in-progress projects, including Guangzhou Yicai New World Garden, New World Oriental Garden, Xintang New World Garden, and Central Park View, and more than 700 migrant workers learned the information through promotion posters, training notices, and mobilization by construction units, etc. and attended trainings. New World China Land presented a set of gifts to those migrant workers as an encouragement, hoping they could pay attentions to self development, take an initiative to make study, and try to adapt to city life as soon as possible. 

Such training activity will also be successively conducted in in-progress projects of New World China Land in other cities, so as to care for the living environment and development situation of migrant workers at construction sites by means of short-term training and education and long-term follow-up, and to supervise and urge partners to jointly assume social responsibilities. 

The training implementation organization, the Institute of Contemporary Observation (ICO), was founded in March 2001, and was a social enterprise registered with Shenzhen Industry and Commerce Administration. As the earliest non-government institution to promote enterprise social responsibility and labor rights in Mainland China, it aims to enhance dignified labor and social justice across Mainland China.
