Social Entrepreneurship Week - SEW for Good
The very first “Social Entrepreneurship Week - SEW for Good” will be held on 7 – 8 September 2023. This event aims to inspire and empower EdUHK community through providing a platform to engage with practitioners who have made a significant impact in their respective fields, fostering a dialogue on generating societal change through entrepreneurship.
During the two-day event, participants will have the opportunity to engage with 18 charity organizations and social enterprises that are actively working towards social innovation and change. Each organization will set up a stall to showcase their visions, missions, and ongoing projects. By visiting the stalls, participants will not only gain insights into their impactful initiatives but also have the chance to explore potential internships or volunteer opportunities, and support their programmes through merchandise purchases.
