HOMETOWN HEROES: I AM A DREAM MAKER

HOMETOWN HEROES: I AM A DREAM MAKER is a youth empowerment project that offers students from Hong Kong universities a rare opportunity to take the lead in designing, planning and executing the White Christmas Street Fair 2019, Swire Properties' annual community celebration, and one of HK’s biggest and most popular seasonal events.

Participants will pitch ideas to organisers, with a maximum of two teams winning the HK$200,000 paid 6-month project internship at the Swire Properties Placemaking Academy. Here they will learn from the Company’s senior management and event-planning experts, as well as from a host of thought leaders from the design and community-planning industries. Most importantly, they can further develop their innovation skills and broaden their horizons.
Project Details
Swire Restaurant

Introduction of Swire Restaurant
Swire restaurants span the reaches of international cuisines, while remaining uniquely steeped in Hong Kong’s blend of cultures. Whether it’s a humble bistro in the heart of town, a continental grand café with a contemporary touch, or a three-storey neighbourhood hangout, every one of our venues offers a new experience.

We see our restaurants as gathering spots for Hong Kong’s many personalities: on-the-go business folk seeking quick, nutritious meals; lunching ladies setting up all-day alfresco roots; evening gourmands looking for a modest affair; or late-night libertines pairing fine cocktails with light bites. They all come together, under the Swire Restaurants family.
