Matthew Kwok, a former teacher in a mainstream primary school, dedicated himself to teaching underprivileged students. Recognising the importance of addressing students’ emotional needs, he delved into various educational theories and proactively advocated for his ideas within the school. With the support of the school administration, he successfully implemented emotional education on campus. In 2018, at the age of 23, Matthew made a courageous decision to leave the education field and co-founded “JUST FEEL,” a pioneering charitable organisation in Hong Kong. Their mission is to systematically promote “Compassionate Communication” and “Social-Emotional Learning” (SEL) within mainstream school systems, with a vision to transform the communication culture between schools and families. They empower educators and parents to enhance students’ emotional wellbeing. Through their ” Compassionate School Programme” which emphasises prevention and whole-school participation, they collaborate closely with partner schools to cultivate a compassionate school culture among students, teachers, and parents, leading to systemic change.
To date, the organisation has partnered with over 30 primary schools, positively impacting over 26,500 students, 6,900 teachers, and 29,600 parents. Matthew and his partner were also recognised on Forbes’ Asia 30 Under 30 list in 2023.
