Our Story

The Social Innovation Lab was founded in 2024 by Sun Boonbhati ’26, Sida Chu ’26, and Valensia Tandeas ’26, all Freeman Scholars from Southeast Asia. The three first collaborated on a project addressing child marriage in Indonesia for Oxford’s Systems Thinking Competition. Inspired by the knowledge and experiences they gained, they decided to create a space on campus that foster social innovation.
