Joint Humanitarian Entrepreneurship Summer Academy 2025 (HK&SG)

The Joint Humanitarian Entrepreneurship Summer Academy (HK&SG) enhances student learning by challenging them with real-world problems while simultaneously creating a positive impact in the community by developing solutions. The program's core values will revolve around creative expression, empathy, embracing ambiguity, visualising challenges, and synthesizing actionable ideas. Students will engage in a comparative study across Hong Kong and Singapore, focusing on social and ecological issues. Through collaboration and innovation, students will develop sustainable solutions that address these global challenges.
