Greetings.
On behalf of SST NE Committee, we would like to invite you to be part of this conference. Inaugurated in 2005, the Conference provides a platform for students to gather insights as well as exchange views and opinions on inter-racial and inter-religious issues in Singapore with politicians, practitioners and community leaders. As a NE Ambassador, this is a good platform for you to learn more about NE issues pertaining to Singapore.
There will be a forum theatre that touches issues such as stereotyping and ethnic clustering. This forum theatre model provides a novel and light-hearted approach to engage youths on deeper issues and draw reflections. You will get a chance to be part of breakout discussions and a plenary session by Mr Daniel Yun, Producer of the upcoming local movie - 1965. There will be a dialogue session with the Guest of Honour, Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, Minister of Environment and Water Resources.
