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.

Aims

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.

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
AIESEC-LC-HKU HKUSU Activating Global Leadership since 1967 www.aiesechku.org | [email protected]

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
