Six groups of secondary school and university students participated in the programme and received training and mentoring from corporate volunteers in areas such as design thinking, sustainability, green technology and urban planning. The university students acted as peer mentors and helped enhance secondary school students\u2019 understanding and application of the knowledge. With the themes of \u201cDesigning a Livable City\u201d and \u201cLow Carbon Community\/Carbon Neutrality\u201d, the students applied design thinking skills to propose sustainable redevelopment plans for Wu Kwai Sha Youth Village, which in turn cultivated their creativity and problemsolving skills.<br>Presented with the \u201cBest Performance Award\u201d and the \u201cMost Sustainable Development Award\u201d, the Sacred Heart Canossian College\u2019s design centred on the idea of \u201cequality of mankind and all species\u201d and incorporated the use of greenhouses and butterfly gardens for sustainable development in the village. They also proposed the use of recycled wood and green energy &#8211; integrating environmental, social, and economic sustainability in a way that was described by the judges as a potential eco-friendly green education centre. The award- winning students expressed excitement to learn about carbon reduction design from corporate volunteers as they had little exposure to the subject, and were glad to have applied their knowledge in the competition. They also hoped to see their designs incorporated into the Wu Kwai Sha Youth Village in the future.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-946b0b3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"946b0b3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b045029 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-ld_counter\" data-id=\"b045029\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;none&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"ld_counter.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div id=\"lqd-counter-b045029\" class=\"lqd-counter pos-rel center lqd-counter-default\">\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"lqd-counter-element pos-rel \" data-enable-counter=\"true\" data-counter-options=\"{&quot;targetNumber&quot;:&quot;34.6 MWh&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"lqd-counter-nums-wrap d-block pos-rel\">34.6 MWh<\/span>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2bc5c02 elementor-widget elementor-widget-hub_fancy_heading\" data-id=\"2bc5c02\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"hub_fancy_heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div id=\"ld-fancy-heading-6a37a3504667c\" class=\"ld-fancy-heading pos-rel\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"ld-fh-element d-inline-block pos-rel  lqd-highlight-classic lqd-highlight-grow-left p\"  > Renewable energy produced and sold<br>MWh<\/p>\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-79d7e37 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"79d7e37\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd30f75 elementor-align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-ld_button\" data-id=\"bd30f75\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"ld_button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\thref=\"\/publications\/sustainability\/\"class=\"elementor-button btn btn-solid btn-custom-size btn-icon-right btn-hover-swp btn-has-label\"\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span data-text=\"Back\" class=\"btn-txt\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tBack\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"btn-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"lqd-icn-ess icon-md-arrow-round-back\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"btn-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"lqd-icn-ess icon-md-arrow-round-back\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To enhance understanding of livable cities and sustainable development among the younger generation, YMCA is pleased to join hands with Arup to launch the \u201cGreenovation\u201d &#8211;
