Melo Fellowship

Our 6-month flagship program for youth to co-create impact projects with CEOs and participate in closed-door authentic dialogues

There are 2 main tracks under Melo Fellowship Program

Co-Creation

Throughout the past 2 years, our Fellows and CEOs have created different initiatives to impact various stakeholders in the society. More to come!

On the theme “Health and Aging”, a Co-Creation group in Class of 2021 worked with the CEO to promote the message of workplace inclusion.

We should not underestimate the performance of a SEN employee, while in most cases, we should treat and support them like everyone else.

On the theme “Youth Engagement”, our 2022 Melo Fellows worked with CEOs to develop the “Youth Advisory Board”.

The young voices impressed the audience with their engaging sharings on why and how business should make good use of the Youth Advisory Board to strengthen the cohesion between corporates and young people

On the theme “Sustainability”, our 2022 Melo Fellows worked with the CEOs to discuss the value-action gap across generations.

Gen Z do care about sustainability, and to a great extent, but their actions do not match with their environmental values. Clearly, we all should act now to close the gap, not just Gen Z

Joint Discovery

Going forward, the future is in the hands of our youth. Their critical thinking skills, empathy, and leader skills are the key - on “The Future of Hong Kong”

Learned about easily forgotten parts of Hong Kong - both the precious nature and culture that makes this place a unique city like no other - through local eco-tours
