Our 31 participating students are all winners here. They, together with over a thousand students, enriched themselves through our 7 theme-based and skill-based workshops, from November 2020 to February 2021. All took home valuable insights on the development of the three targeted Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs, Goals 3, 11 and 12), the essence of social innovation, research techniques, proposal writing and pitching skills.
