The Zhongshan Building

The Hubs for Good programme aims to provide support for the development of creative hubs to be key drivers and catalysts for good in their community. In line with the programme’s objectives, five grants were awarded to Malaysian creative hubs in March 2020 for the purpose of conducting clinics, workshops or exchanges with experts to increase the capacity of creative hubs and advance professional development of hub managers in areas such as social media audience engagement, mass media and public relations, branding and legal. 

As each grantee completes their project, they also engage in sharing sessions with their communities and the wider Malaysian hub network, offering each creative hub and its manager’s unique insights on the grant experience and knowledge gained. Explore the digital contents below for more resources: think-pieces, presentations, guides and recordings of the sharing sessions.
