【CREATIVE BEINGS @ SHAM SHUI PO】Online Festival ?

In uncertain times of change, how would you choose to BE? Join us to explore the intersections of life, work and community with an online festival celebrating Creative Beings @ Sham Shui Po (心浪潮@深水埗) – a 5-month apprenticeship and creative residency programme bringing together local youth with creative businesses in Sham Shui Po to create collective impact, hosted by Social Ventures Hong Kong.

In three evenings of fireside chats and project showcases, we will gather participating youth, creative entrepreneurs, community organisations and cross-sector changemakers to share innovative solutions for positive change. From future talent development to the social responsibility of local businesses, the impact of art, culture and community collaboration, let us search for a new way of being in this city.
