With the human-centred design thinking approach, Changemaker Academy encourages young people to understand the social conditions and then design and create practical yet innovative solutions that bring continuous changes to the society and the disadvantaged group. After several rounds of discussion, awarded teams got funded to design and test their ideas for 6 to 9 months.

To well equip the youth with co-creation ability, we organized a series of design thinking workshops with professionals in different fields. When youths interacted with professionals in the design thinking process, we were surprised by youths’ unusual insights and fresh perspectives they brought in to solve various challenges in the society.
