Critical Success Factor

At the early stage of the project, the Academy co-organised make-up training courses with the project for youths. With the mutual trust relationship getting deeper, the Academy joined the project studio as one of the consultants and more resources were then devoted to the project. The sturdy network with the Academy has successfully led to the sustainable development of the project. The Academy has helped the implementation of the project by teaching make-up skills, sponsoring toiletry and providing placement opportunities in the concerts and some trained up trainees would even be employed by the Academy. Through the project, the make-up instructors have changed the impression of the participating youths who were labelled negatively, and the Academy has recognised the importance of social capital and is willing to share its successful experience in many events organised by the CIIF.
