Facilitate our ThinkTank Program for high school students from 15-17 August
Inspired by the Harkness method, these discussion-based learning sessions are not guided toward a set of model answers; instead, they provide participants with opportunities to develop and voice their unique views freely on social issues. We recognize the importance of diverse forms of knowledge acquisition in fostering a well-rounded education, including solitary study, real-life experiences, and collaborative discussions with peers. Unfortunately, the existing education system often lacks emphasis on the latter two. The spontaneous and impromptu nature of discussions serves as a catalyst for articulation and critical thinking. By integrating discussion-based learning with other educational techniques, we actively encourage the exploration of open-ended issues and critical concepts. By incorporating these discussion-based learning sessions as the Empathy stage of the Design Thinking process, we empower participants to progress through the subsequent stages of Ideation and Prototype.
A briefing will be provided to align the expectations, objectives and goals of the event. Our team will be supporting you and working with you align the way.
Our goal is to empower students to go beyond mere recitation of knowledge by building upon others' ideas, developing their own thoughts, and expressing themselves effectively. Through this approach, we aim to create an educational environment that values and nurtures holistic learning.

Founded with empathy and a deep understanding of the challenges associated with effecting institutional change, EdQuity recognizes that true social transformation must begin at the local level. Our mission is to mobilize capable and passionate young individuals to provide additional support to primary and secondary school students while engaging in dialogues and actions to improve education and reduce inequities at the grassroots level. Through our free-of-charge initiatives, such as one-on-one mentorships, design thinking workshops, interactive forums on career and life planning, and discussion-based learning sessions, we not only encourage students to excel academically but, more importantly, to develop a passion for utilizing their experiences, talents, and knowledge to uplift those facing educational disparities. EdQuity has become a vibrant hub where students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, values, and age groups come together, sharing a common passion to voice their opinions and take meaningful action. Ultimately, we aim to nurture young individuals capable of original thinking, articulate expression, and significant contributions towards reducing education inequity in Hong Kong.
