Yunus Social Business Centre at CUHK - Another Kind of Business

The “Jockey Club Youth Programme” launched in 2017-18 by the Yunus Social Business Centre at CUHK (YSBC@CUHK), which is an affiliate of this Centre, has nearly come to an end.  The experience of this programme were assembled earlier to transform into a booklet titled Another Kind of Business.  The copies of it are being placed at this Centre (5/F, Wong Foo Yuan Building) now for free collection by interested persons.

Another Kind of Business sheds light on the principles of social business upheld by Professor Muhammad Yunus and on the purpose of establishing YSBC@CUHK.  Moreover, Professor Wong Hung, Director of YSBC@CUHK, shared in this booklet his perspectives on the poverty issues in Hong Kong and on why “social entrepreneurship” is important to the development of social business and social changes.  Reader of Another Kind of Business will also be fascinated by the stories about some of the youth teams competing for the S.I. Leadership Award, namely PhilHub, Plain Hiker, Rolling Books, WeWah Music, and WeLeap.

The “Jockey Club Youth Programme” is sponsored by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust.  It aims to encourage real action from the youth of Hong Kong in social business through a series of training activities and incubation programmes.  For more information, please visit here.
