Social Innovation Makers (SIM) - The Back Alley Tales Starting from the possibility of back-alley space, SIMMERs will experience an in-depth community study by walking through the side streets and alleys, communicating and building a relationship with the neighbours, and deeply observing and exploring the city's needs with community partners and instructors. Going through the design thinking training and social innovation framework, students will gain a valuable opportunity to design and execute social innovation plans as a one-week owner in Yau Ma Tei, earn first-hand experience interacting with the community, and reflect on how to contribute to the sustainable development of the city as global citizens. SIMMERs will also be invited to join the social innovation market in the second semester to bring their outcomes to the BU community.
