Social Innovation Makers (SIM) - Rethink LoongCity

A community is woven from countless people and stories. Do you know what initiatives can be implemented to improve the well-being of community members and build a sustainable neighbourhood in the older district?



The 'Social Innovation Makers - Rethink LoongCity' programme invites you to explore and discover the uniqueness and life stories within the Kowloon City District. Under the guidance of mentors in the social innovation field, and by applying Design Thinking techniques, you will have the opportunity to integrate your expertise and academic knowledge into real-life initiatives that involve co-creation with the community.



Let's rethink the possibilities of the community together, take concrete actions, and reshape the Kowloon City District into a more livable and sustainable community.
