Nurturing sustainability leaders with HKFYG’s Leadership Institute l A new online programme has been launched by the HKFYG Leadership Institute to give students a taste of university-style learning and build competence in sustainability leadership. l This Pre-University Pilot Programme was run in partnership with speakers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). l More than 20 schools joined in for the two series featuring interactive collaboration and discussion.. l The programme motivated 90% of participants to initiate positive social change.
The guided questions helped me realize and reflect on the relationship between sustainability and finance.
