I see leadership as defining who someone is and what they stand for. I look at young adults in Hong Kong and their resumes are enviable at sixteen years old; so much accomplished in such a short period of time. Yet where is the leadership — defined by who they are and what they are passionate about. This program has created a dynamic and thoughtful space for young adults to stretch the bounds of their thinking, to challenge their pre-conceived notions and within that context, to lead. Leaders are the change-agents of the future, be it in the corporate or social world. Grameen Foundation is proud to be part of this important initiative.
This summer course has all the elements that students get excited about — inspirational speakers, a simulation about a crucial contemporary issue affecting the lives of millions, and authentic project work with Hong Kong NGOs. Led by... Ivy League senior and junior facilitators, this program promises to strengthen student skills while engaging them with issues that really matter.
I am really impressed with the students having taken Diamond Cab and visited our office with their passion to find business solutions for us. Though they are still too young to be working professionals, their real actions did make social changes of barrier-free lives with Diamond Cab!
The Open Classroom provides a platform for children to meet professionals that are not often part of the discourse at schools. In this module, we closely worked together to develop a unique curriculum weaving in the 5C's concept and successfully created a learning environment that was interactive, fun and memorable for the children.
