International Youth Conference on Social Innovation: Unleashing Creativity For Social Good

 

Jointly organised by University & College YMCA Department of Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong and Office of Student Affairs of Hong Kong Baptist University, the International Youth Conference on Social Innovation will be held in July this year. The Conference is funded by the Home Affairs Bureau Youth Development Commission.

 

Over 150 young people around the world will gather in Hong Kong to create innovative ideas for social good. Through a wide variety of programmes/ trainings, it is hoped that both local and overseas young people will be able to get inspired by the sharing of industry professionals and the good practices and experiences of existing social innovation projects, so as to generate creative ideas to fill the gaps of existing social services in home countries and the global village as a whole. The details of the Conference are as follows.
