Jason Qiu’s Carbon Neutral, Aden Wong’s Exercise for Elderlies and Arthur Cheung’s SDG action all mentioned in this article on LearningPlanet - https://www.learning-planet.org/en/newspage?id=OofD82jC . LearningPlanet is an open alliance of educational stakeholders and learning communities which aims to identify, develop and amplify the most effective ways to collectively solve the world’s most pressing and complex challenges, such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This article by Kenneth Kwok focuses on youth involvement on this project. . . .
Jason is a Management Consultant who enjoys working with youth in his spare time. His academic background is in international affairs, with a B.S. in International Political Economy from the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University and a M.S. in Strategic Studies from the School of Advanced International Studies at the Johns Hopkins University. However, he opted to go into the private sector for his career and feels that route is often a more effective way of making change in the world. He also serves as a volunteer admissions counselor in his spare time. . . .
