About the event
This 3-day workshop enabled 40 Hong Kong students ages 14 to 17 to learn about design thinking method. Taking Hong Kong’s cultural preservation as the context, Paul Chan (Walk in Hong Kong CEO) led a discussion with other experts in the cultural preservation industry to offer participants an overview about Hong Kong’s indigenous villages dating back about 400 years, recognize the challenges villagers have gone through due to urbanization, and create a sustainable solution that might both preserve these historical sites and support the livelihood of the villages.
