Shifting perspectives, one story at a time. 

Hong Kong's social impact platform using storytelling to connect, empower and mobilise.





Our mission is to promote kindness, empathy and inclusiveness in our living and working communities through storytelling.



Storytelling for Positive Impact 

Storytelling is at the heart of who we are. From cave drawings, oral anecdotes to written narratives, humans have been using stories to connect since the beginning of time. Stories have the power to move, inspire and mobilise. 



Real stories  
Authenticity is at the heart of the connections we build with our interviewees, community and partners.

Empowering stories 
Every story - however challenging - can be told in a way that inspires and brings strength, growth and connectedness.

Human stories 
We portray our interviewees with dignity and make them proud of who they are and what they stand for.

Our community project.

We put the spotlight on shift workers, individuals working tirelessly to help us around the clock, discreetly in the background. These are the unsung heroes who play a key role in building, preserving and serving our living and working communities but who we often ignore or take for granted in our busy lives.
