Our inaugural “Young Leaders of Tomorrow” summer program was successfully completed in Hong Kong this July. We had 33 students from local, international and overseas high schools such as Heep Yunn, CIS, HKIS, DBS, DGS, Exeter, St. Pauls. Three outcomes worth highlighting
1. Every student was engaged throughout the program.
2. Our students’ work on their project with NGOs far exceeded ours and the NGO Leaders’ expectations, for example, producing a touching stop-motion video to promote the concept of “up-cycling”
3. Students learned about themselves and working with others.
In our world of rapidly increasing complexity and uncertainty, we need to equip young hearts and minds with courage, creativity, and diverse abilities, so they have a better chance of becoming leaders who can address our world’s fundamental issues. This program is one of our contributions towards that societal need.
The program helps high school students cultivate leadership skills, service mindset and inner awareness, working with each other and local NGOs, with the guidance of facilitators from Ivy League schools. We had faith that a program focusing on Leading in the Real World using cutting-edge experiential learning methods would be highly effective, relevant, and complementary to existing school & ECA offerings. Our experience from the program supports that belief.
We received excellent feedback – 100% of students would recommend the program, several students “can’t stop talking about the program” at home (from parent’s feedback), and NGO Leaders are continuing to work with our students directly. For more info, check out our Testimonial page.
