Supporting students to showcase their entrepreneurial skills
Alison Yang
Alison promotes entrepreneurial mindsets in the international schools where she works. She organized a successful entrepreneurial project exhibition, where students raised funds and showcased their entrepreneurial skills to parents and visitors. In Hong Kong, Alison is organising an entrepreneurial project, supporting teachers and students. The challenges students faced during the COVID-19 transition to online learning are still impacting student behaviours and their approach to education. Alison empowers students to apply their knowledge and skills in real-life contexts, correcting their misconceptions and encouraging creative thinking. Through entrepreneurial projects, students can use their agency to demonstrate their learning.

“Entrepreneurship, it’s actually not just selling something. It’s about how are we together and being able to bring our talents and skills and have our own identities in the product we want to sell.”
