YIAA offers experiential learning activities for participating teams to develop an understanding of social problems, human-centered design thinking, the current landscape of social innovation in Hong Kong and the work by non-governmental organizations (NGOs). These activities will enable teams to come up with innovative and viable service ideas. All teams need to join at least one of the workshops.
Upon successful registration, we will contact you about the experiential learning activities.
Professional social workers and the YIAA coaching team will assist teams to refine their ideas.
