Design Thinking Summer 2023: No Poverty and Zero Hunger

Poverty in Hong Kong is a long-standing issue. As a member of society, it is crucial for secondary school students to gain a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by grassroots citizens and explore how to contribute to poverty alleviation. The Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development Office of The Chinese University of Hong Kong is pleased to offer the ‘Design Thinking Summer 2023: No Poverty and Zero Hunger’ programme this Summer.

 

Through trainings and workshops, design thinking, and short video production, the programme aims to educate participants on the importance of SDG 1 – No Poverty and SDG 2 – Zero Hunger, develop their sense of empathy, and sharpen their communication, leadership and organization skills. The programme enables students to unleash their creativity in building ‘No Poverty and Zero Hunger’ campuses and communities, broaden their horizons and fulfil their responsibilities as global citizens.

Universities have a responsibility to bring about sustainable development in society. They are expected to be responsive to pressing societal issues and sustainability challenges and to act to integrate changes in internal organization, knowledge creation, educational models, information technologies, social responsibility and knowledge transfer.

 

As one of Hong Kong’s pioneering universities, CUHK takes a holistic approach to social responsibility, connecting and articulating its vision, goals and priorities to guide planning and management practices. We are resolved to establish ourselves at the forefront of social responsibility and to address various sustainable development targets, ranging from health to education, inclusion to partnerships, and climate action to responsible processes.

 

The University seeks to ensure that all its members understand and identify with CUHK’s values and are engaged in the quest for a sustainable world both for themselves and for those who follow in their footsteps.
