• Book Circulation and Promoting Public Welfare Knowledge (2nd Edition)
Partner Organization: Charity School
Project Duration: Dec 2019 – Dec 2020
Project Status: Ongoing
Yifang Foundation has been supporting this project since it began in 2018. It aims to address the issue of underutilisation of theoretical concepts in practical applications within the public welfare sector. Furthermore, public welfare organizations often lack the knowledge and learning opportunities, and overlook using scientific standards, methods and tools to guide them in daily operations and project management. This was the result of a lack of dissemination of the relevant knowledge across the industry.
The project consolidated material from a wide range of resources like publications, research thesis, recommended book lists, work handbooks, traditional media and internet content into a sample library. At the same time, adopting the concept of offline book circulation – resources in the library are donated by users and used together with a “circulation” card – encouraging the sharing of resources, knowledge and accelerating the development of public welfare research. Ultimately closing the gap between theory and practice.
