With the theme of “We are the SAME: Sensitivity, Accessibility, Multiplicity, and Equality,” the Fifth Social Good Festival in CUHK-Shenzhen was launched on September 13th.  

 

With the strong support of the Office of Student Affairs, the Fifth Social Good Festival is hosted by the Social Practice Center. For 2021, the Social Good Festival’s activities will be divided into three layers: comprehension, experience and co-creation. Each addresses diverse meanings. The purpose of this year’s Social Good Festival is to make the concept of “barrier-free” exposed to more people, lead people to jointly perceive the diversity of the way that human beings interact with the world, and contemplate the degree of social convenience and the possibility of improving social well-being. During the past week, we have followed Qi Xiaoai to explore the theme of “Accessibility” in the SAME Fair, Parklife Exhibit, Like Stars on Earth Series Activities, “I creation: the Journey in IC Space”, and “One Day of Blind Baristas”.
