Are you feeling anxious and confused about choosing a subject, applying for a university, or finding a job? Have you lost your way in life and still can't find an exit until now?
Don't fret! We are here for you. Echo is a student-led non-profit organization founded by Wendy Chong, junior at UCLA with St. Paul's Co-educational College high school students in Hong Kong, interviewing people from different industries to share experience on college applications, career ventures and life stories. We consist of audience members from Hong Kong, UK, USA, Australia and Canada, and are featured by RTHK, World Economic Forum affliate KIDSforSDGs and Listen Notes.
So far, we have interviewed more than 67 guests on our talk show, Fireside to share their stories and experiences. They come from all walks of life, such as M+ Chairman, Palace Museum & IFC Chief Architect, Bakehouse Founder Chef, China Art Group Chairman, Two Sigma Asia CEO, McKinsey Global Partner, Kellogg-HKUST EMBA Founding Director, AmCham HK Chair, Asian Management Institute President, China Art Grp Chair, Santa Monica College President, Oscar-winning VFX team lead, Former Legislative Council President, Mr. Tsang Yuk-sing, General Manager of Ming Pao Publications, Deputy Chief Editor of Joint Publishing, Former Vice-Chairman of the Arts Development Council, CEO of OWN Academy, Former Dean of HKU Social Sciences, doctors, lawyers as well as Harvard, Oxbridge and HKU med students. Our founder and CEO Wendy Chong realized that many students may not have advisers to turn to when they face important decisions in life during college applications, major exploration and job seeking. Therefore, Echo is founded in hopes of helping those in need by being committed to bridging the educational, opportunity and resource gap. Our podcasts are all available on our website, www.echohk.org/fireside. Ultimately, we hope that through our platform, the diversity of human experience can be recognized and appreciated.
Echo strives to be a novel network that uses social media as a medium of inspirational storytelling. We seek to celebrate humanity by actively listening to these voices, sparking conversations and helping foster a more caring and interconnected global community. 🌍
As part of our Palette project, we launched our "Meaning of Life Campaign" to celebrate Earth Day (April 2022). Through promoting on various online platforms and contacting more than 10k Internet users, we conducted a survey to collect responses from people around the globe, asking them: "What is the meaning of life to you?". Much to our delight, we got responses from over 1020 people in a week from over 100 countries and 6 continents. We posted some of these thought-provoking answers on our social media to share the goodness and beauty of human nature, the diversity of the human experience and the preciousness of life.
Through conversations with people from diverse livelihoods and backgrounds, we gather enlightening perspectives that can hopefully guide you as you navigate through uncharted waters in life. Not only career insights will be imparted, but also advice on managing your time and emotions. Our initiatives include Fireside - guest interviews from all walks in society, Breeze & Wonder - podcasts where our board members discuss various topics, Palette - where submissions of stories and media are welcomed, as well as Haven - where you’re free to share your thoughts and emotions🎤
Ultimately, we hope that through our platform, the diversity of human experience - transcending national, cultural and generational boundaries - can be recognized and appreciated. ✨
Welcome to Echo - where minds meet, souls chime, and passions intertwine.
