🧠 Why Hurt Children Hurt Children

Not everything gets left behind with childhood.
Sometimes, the hurt stays in the way we speak to ourselves, respond to conflict, build relationships, and understand love.

Why Hurt Children Hurt Children is an interactive public experience by #EveryChildSG that explores the emotional wounds many people grow up normalising, and how unresolved pain can quietly shape the way we relate to ourselves and others. Through immersive storytelling and reflection, the experience invites participants to rethink silence, healing, and the long-term impact of childhood experiences. πŸ’­

πŸ—£οΈ Roles and Scripts: On Identity and Gender

Many of us grew up with unspoken scripts about who we should be, how to take up space, express emotions, love others, or define our worth. Some were taught to be silent providers, others to be selfless nurturers. But when these expectations begin to constrain rather than guide, what does it mean to reclaim our own narratives?

Roles and Scripts: On Identity and Gender is a gathering that explores how gender norms and social expectations shape identity, relationships, and everyday experiences. Through conversation and reflection, the session invites participants to question inherited roles and imagine more authentic ways of being rooted in who we are, rather than who we were told to become. πŸ’¬

This programme is part of a wider series of gatherings held alongside the launch of the second volume of @thewhitebooksg πŸ“š
