Designing Your Life Workshop for Practitioners

Mark Wee, Stanford Life Design Lab Executive Director, and Stanford University Professor Bill Burnett, co-author of "Designing Your Life" - the book we based on our framework on, came to Hong Kong to host a workshop. Our founders Agnes and Bryan were privileged to be invited to attend the workshop. This was an eye-opening  first-hand experience which allowed us to continue to improve our current "Design Your Life at 25" framework. In this 7-hour workshop, Bill and Mark led participants through the "Designing Your Life" framework and demonstrated how a group setting would be beneficial to conduct this workshop.

UNITAR Youth Ambassador Program Graduation Pitch 2023

Pitching our creative scale-up in Egypt - creating a gamified app and establishing a local community for easier accessibility - won us the "Impact" award where we will get 2 months of mentorship from UNITAR and ITS. We're constantly looking to improve, hence we are so excited to expand our chapter in Egypt and solve previously identified problems like language barrier, bandwidth concerns and poor user experience with workshop resources.

Cohort 3

We are changing our workshop into a 3 hour program! Terrance is our Hong Kong participant and committee team member. Along with him, we also have another Indian participant joining overseas, Ankit Kumar. Even though his accent was heavy, I was able to widen my horizon. Ankit is in fact our first Indian Committee team member and he was able to change his life because of COVID. He was able to access to more online resources and learn many things by himself!
