GreenFest by Hysan Inaugural Festival: Rethink our Food! November 10th & 11th, Hysan Place

Hysan Development Co. Ltd. is pleased to announce that Hong Kong’s very first sustainability festival for youth - GreenFest - will take place this coming November with the aim of leading our youths to take action towards a more sustainable food future.

Together with award-winning urban farming pioneer Rooftop Republic, the GreenFest - “Rethink Our Food” Festival is targeted at secondary school students to empower them to become the food pioneers of tomorrow!

The first of its kind, the GreenFest brings together thought-leaders and changemakers who are already transforming our food’s future, and the young minds of tomorrow to explore the most pressing food issues that our world is facing now.

Through a series of interactive workshops, demonstrations and talks, students will investigate issues surrounding our current food systems; design solutions and innovations to (re)connect with our food and define the value, role, and place of healthy and sustainable food in tomorrow’s urban societies.

---

To kick start the festival we are delighted to present keynote speakers David Yeung of Green Monday and Peggy Chan - Chef and founder of Grassroots Pantry, both key players in Hong Kong’s food scene and inspiring educators and advocates of sustainability.

Students between the ages of 15 -17 are invited to join one of the weekend festival’s days and sign up to three breakout workshops on the topics of “Grow”, “Eat” and “Dispose”.

A delicious lunch will be provided courtesy of the Landmark Mandarin Oriental, who will be partnering with Impossible Foods, and we’ll have tasty snacks and beverages from OATLY.
