“The Foundry” is the flagship programme of Dream2Story designed to empower youths from under-resourced backgrounds in Hong Kong to (re-)gain a sense of self agency over their own post-school life. It is an experiential programme centred around a business plan challenge. Through a series of workshops, a company visit and mentorship sessions, students work in teams to bring their own dreams/passions into a business plan to be pitched against others in a competition setting.
