CUEA Happy Hour - A Straw, A Crutch, A Book: Where Innovation Meets Social Problems |
|||||
|
CUEA stands for CUHK Entrepreneurs Alliance. As one of the members of the CUEA, this Centre has begun co-hosting the “Happy Hour” Talk Series with other University units since June of this year in order to facilitate the exchange of entrepreneurial information among CUHK members. The first round of online “Happy Hour” talks (10 nos.) met with enthusiastic feedback. For the second round of this series which was confirmed to be held in a face-to-face form, this Centre has arranged a sharing session titled “A Straw, A Crutch, A Book: Where Innovation Meets Social Problems” on the 20th of this month. The sharing session was attended by Mr. Eddie Li (Co-founder of Green One Lab and participant of the Social Enterprise Startup Scheme 2018-19) and Mr. James Chong (Founder of Rolling Books and recipient of the S.I. Leadership Award 2018-19), with Ms. Irene Ng, the Director of this Centre, as moderator. What had come across was how social enterprises facilitate a green lifestyle, elderly caring, and cultural inclusion by the creative use of several daily commodities, namely reusable straws, smart crutches and children books. Numerous students, alumni and members of the public turned up at this event either in person or via Zoom. They had a lively discussion during the Q&A session, and even after the event ended. To review the aforementioned sharing session and other talks of the “Happy Hour” Series, please visit the website of CUEA at here. For enquiries about the Social Enterprise Startup Scheme, you are welcomed to contact Mr. Ng of this Centre at 3943 9249 (Tel) or enoch.ng@cuhk.edu.hk (Email). |
