YEA's 3rd Edition, Day 6: Human Library and Project Development

The morning kicked off with a lively Kahoot quiz, testing our YEA attendees on decarbonisation, waste management, sustainable consumption, and nature-based solutions – topics from our previous workshops. The top 7 high scorers were rewarded with gifts sponsored by two sustainable brands Kibo and Haishang.

The afternoon session featured a Human Library with 11 distinguished guests, including Ms Connie Chan, Project Manager at Clean Air Network, Mr Gomen See, Marine Science Programme Manager at the Hong Kong Maritime Museum, Ms Karen Ho, Head of Corporate and Community Sustainability at WWF-Hong Kong, Ms Kelly Chan, Project Officer at Drink Without Waste, Mr Khalil Tsoi, Sustainable Development Assistant Manager at Cathay Pacific, Ms Maggie Suen, Assistant Project Manager at The Hong Kong Bird Watching Society, Ms Priscilla Lin, Manager, Sustainability and Strategy at Schneider Electric (Hong Kong) Limited, Mr Roy Ng, Campaign Manager at The Conservancy Association, Mr Steven Chan, Assistant Environment Affairs Manager at the Green Earth, Ms Tiffany Leung, Circular Fashion Programme Manager – School Education at ReDress, and Mr Tom Ng, Campaigner at Greenpeace.

Our YEA attendees were divided into groups, giving them the opportunity to interact with different guests, gain valuable insights on their project ideas, and receive constructive feedback. Following these discussions, each group presented their project ideas in an elevator pitch session.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Human Library guests for their time and invaluable contributions. Several experienced professionals will guide all of the YEAs in organising sustainable projects throughout August. Best of luck to our YEAs on their project journey, we are excited to see your projects come to life!
