Caring Leadership Challenge (For students outside Hong Kong)

Our world is facing various cross-broader critical issues that needs our attention and care. These issues influence everyone on the planet, and that' why we need to join hands to these problems.

In this way, we need a critical mass of “care agents” for social good, who could instigate small actions that can persistently be mirrored, adapted, or altered by other individuals in the same or different national and cultural context.It's time to step out of our comfort zone, and be a Caring Leader together!
