AIESEC in HKU

AIESEC in Hong Kong has seven member universities, i.e. HKU, CUHK,

HKUST, PolyU, HKBU, CityU, and LingU. AIESEC-LC-HKU was the first

AIESEC entity established in Hong Kong. Founded in 1967, we have been

striving to provide our members with quality leadership experience and global

exposure second to none. We take pride in developing students with a global

mindset through cultural exchange and equipping them with the skills that

matter today.

Our programmes are highly valued by many different companies, including

UBS, AEGON, Pfizer, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and many more which

have partnered with us. AIESEC in HKU, throughout its history, has nurtured a

myriad of prominent social and business figures. This year, we’re also proud to

have worked with Team Building Asia, Clean Air Network, and shall be

cooperating with Visa shortly.

AIESEC in HKU is running on a departmental system which consists of 6

teams – Communications, Talent Management, Incoming Exchange, Outgoing

Exchange, Finance, Information Management. They are devoted to 6 values

of AIESEC:

Aims

To educate students on the importance of social innovation

To increase students’ understanding on the ecosystem of social

enterprises in the Asia Pacific Region

To nurture the spirit of social entrepreneurships of students

To promote an exchange of notions within groups from different cultural

and social origins

To encourage students to take a lead and make an impact through

various follow-up activities

What

AIESEC-LC-HKU has always been making breakthroughs. In 2004, we

launched the first international conference - Ripples. Students from local

and foreign chapters of AIESEC were recruited to learn and reflect on

various topics such as Corporate Social Responsibility and youth

empowerment. We focus on the ‘Ripples Effect’ that youth could create in

different social aspects. This year AIESEC in HKU would like to revive the

tradition under the topic of Social Innovation.

What is Ripples International Conference 2013?


5

Why Social Innovation?

One of the core messages of AIESEC emphasizes the power of youth to

change the world. Indeed, youth, with enthusiasm and courage, has always

been the driving force behind the social movements throughout the history.

Yet, there are growing voices of complaints from our future pillars on different

social issues. All these moaning and groaning could not change a thing if

no action is taken.

The key concept of Social Innovation is to leverage youth’s creativity to

create sustainable solutions to social problems, thus bring favourable

influences to our society. It is about self-initiated breakthroughs. Besides,

Social Innovation is a trending norm in today’s world. Social enterprises help

improve the rural economies in developing countries and solve social

problems that are neglected by the government. Understanding social

entrepreneurship enables students to gain more insights on how Social

Innovation can change the world.

Thus, AIESEC, being one of the platforms for nurturing future leaders, has

the responsibility to spread this concept to our future leaders. We admit that

implanting such ideas or mindset is a challenging task. But at least we would

like to plant seeds inside our participants so that when time is ripe for

action, such seed may soar. After all, conferences are all about

inspirations. By inviting different experienced social entrepreneurs, we

intend to relay their ideas and inspirations to those who are eager to change.

How

During 4-8 June 2013 (proposed dates), through a series of diversified

activities, Ripples Conference intends to enrich the delegates with the 3Ws:

What – The meaning of Social Innovation

Why – The examination on the importance of Social Innovation

How – The ideas generation on the solutions in social problems


6

The 3 stages of realization of delegates through the 3Ws

What makes us different from other conferences is that we have an

international setting. With at least 1/3 of delegates and facilitators coming

from other countries, we guarantee a wide range of ideas from different

perspectives which are vital to the process of idea generation. We would

invite leading social entrepreneurs and organizations to give speeches and

sharing on the current situation of social enterprises in Hong Kong and the

Asia Pacific Region.

Social innovation is about trial and error. Mere discussion is not enough.

Thus, we would include sessions which enable participants to learn through

experience. The Ripples Day would involve launching a campaign on

streets, which allows participants to spread the message to the community

and understand the needs of different communities. Further visits to social

enterprises in Hong Kong will also allow students to get a glimpse of the daily

problems faced by social entrepreneurs.

Through the workshops, forums, external visits, simulation, mini HK

tour, global village, and evaluation meetings, we hope to formulate and

develop strategies for ideas for social innovations and to maximize the

impact of the idea.

Who will join?

100 delegates from local and foreign universities
