How the story begins:

Nan Fung Group’s community initiative In Time Of is now offering an opportunity for budding artisans and craftsmen a chance to develop their own brand over a course of 6-month training. Aiming to help the community reach their full potential and rethink product sustainability, My Little Story provides an experimental platform for participants to deepen their understanding in product development, material usage and branding.

With this year’s theme “In Time of Food”, we invite anyone who works with food and is building up a food product brand to join us. This 6-month course is designed to equip participants with knowledge of material usage, eco-packaging, branding and selling. Through learning and sharing sessions, our experienced instructors will walk our participants step by step to execute their plans.

It is the concept of sustainability the programme hopes to sow in participants’ minds. Only by creating sustainable products, we could make sustainable living more accessible. After completing the training, participants can enjoy the resources of Nan Fung’s community, as well as connect the communities with your brand stories.

Join us now and give your ideas a chance!
