This three-day Festival offers a diverse range of social innovation elements aim at immersing participants in various social innovation initiatives and inspiring their imagination which include seminars, an exhibition showcase, community cultural tours, a debate competition, and more.
Renowned speakers and guests will share their experience and valuable insights on illustration, design, traditional crafts, sustainable development, and multicultural integration. Through these perspectives, young people will have the opportunity to explore the concepts of sustainable community development and social innovation.
Emphasising the significance of community cultural tours, the Festival will feature visits to iconic locations connecting different themes, such as exploring heritage in Wanchai, appreciating cultural conservation in PMQ, indulging in community history in Sham Shui Po and understanding ethnic minorities in Tsim Sha Tsui.
