“Furniture for Our Future” Project - Best Academic Improvement Award Ceremony

With the generous support of Hongkong Land HOME FUND, the PolyU Jockey Club Design Institute for Social Innovation (J.C.DISI) launched the “Furniture for Our Future” Project to improve the health and well-being, study environment and upward social mobility of children living in subdivided units or other forms of inadequate housing. This cross-sectoral collaboration has designed tailor-made furniture sets that are ergonomic and adjustable in order to fit different spatial setups. To date, the project has provided these furniture sets to over 2,400 children.

 

To encourage the use of the furniture and recognise academic improvement of the beneficiary children, the team established the "Best Academic Improvement Award". 25 students with the greatest improvement in academic performance were selected to each receive a HK$2,000 book vouchers, and an award ceremony was held at PolyU on 6 July 2024.
