Project LEARNT

PROJTECT LEARNT is a social enterprise that is committed to promoting the education and employment of part-time students and allowing educational human resources to be fully utilized.

In March 2019, we received support from the Education and Social Entrepreneurs Fund (EASE Fund), the first innovation and entrepreneurship fund program of the Education University of Hong Kong. In July 2020, we became a social enterprise supported by the "Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Fund" (SIE Fund) under the Government's Commission on Poverty.

The venture proposes to make use of the idle time of a restaurant to run a co-learning space for students who are in need of self-study places or academic support. Several students would be hired as restaurant staff to help out the operation to earn a living. Surplus/pre-service teachers or private tutors will be invited to provide on-site tuition to the students at the restaurants. They can thus expand their potential customer base and also enjoy a rate lower than the market’s to rent a table for tutorial sessions.
