The objectives of the Conference are:

(a)  To reflect on the past 50 years of nation building;

(b)  To reflect and elicit youths' views on whether Singapore has reached a truly racially harmonious state in the past 50 years;

(c)  To raise awareness on challenges concerning communal cohesion in increasingly diversified Singapore and;

(d)  Inspire and equip youth participants with the mind set and attitude to take ownership on resolving some of the issues that Singapore may face in the next phrase of nation building in terms of racial harmony and social cohesion.

To facilitate the reply, everyone need to reply.  NIL reply is required.  We would appreciate it if you fill up this document latest by Monday, 6 July 3 p.m.
