ISSIA HK (issiahk.org) is a youth-led and youth-operated non-profit that aims to cultivate social consciousness and build capacity to empower future changemakers in Hong Kong and beyond. ISSIA has involved over 300 students across 80+ schools in Hong Kong and has been featured on the Ariana Magazine, SCMP Young Post, RTHK Radio 3, Expat Living and Pixl Media etc. Some of our projects include the ISSIA Magazine, the publication of 160+ articles on our website, a Youth NGOs forum, podcasts etc.

Our flagship initiative is the ISSIA Magazine - a leading youth-led social issues publication (Hong Kong's first inter-school magazine). The ISSIA Magazine intends to be the pre-eminent platform of student voice, featuring a plethora of student work from articles and illustrations to student artwork and photography. We offer a youth voice on topics such as mental health, culture, education and social justice.

We also received a grant from Kids4Kids AFAC 2020-2021. ISSIA has also been represented at the Hong Kong Youth Summit (HK Mental Health Conference) and at the World Humanitarian Forum (WHF London 2021).

We integrate the study of the humanities and social sciences into our take of social issues, offering insights on topics such as social justice, mental health, human rights, culture and socio-political quandaries. We also feature more academic articles and interviews. The ISSIA Magazine is also a platform for other multimedia forms of expression, such as student artwork and photography. We are looking for student submissions on the theme of "social issues", which can be broadly interpreted. We accept submissions all year round!

Please submit your article idea below. If the ISSIA Magazine team approves of the proposed article plan, the participant will be notified and instructed to begin their article. We will connect you with your editors throughout this process, who will provide feedback and suggestions. Accepted articles will be published in either our website or the print edition.
