Dialogue Session with Prabhu Silvam and Kenneth Lee

Located two hours away from Jakarta is the mountainous town of Cisarua, a haven for refugees escaping war and conflict in the Middle East. The town serves as a transit point for refugees hoping to reach Australia by sea, but the Australian government has been turning away refugee boats since 2013. Over 14,100 refugees and asylum seekers are now caught in limbo with no place to go, and with no means to journey home.

Join us together with journalists Prabhu and Kenneth, who will be sharing their experiences running the #RefugeesofCisarua initiative, and discuss the power of storytelling as a means of social advocacy. Residents of the Cisarua refugee committee will also be Skypeing in directly from Indonesia.

🎟 Tickets are $10 each and all proceeds will go directly to the Cisarua refugee community.

Let's Talk about Plastic Pollution

Join Lush and our friends at Seven Clean Seas, as we gather the community to shed more light upon the global plastic problem. We aim to raise awareness about the impacts of single-use plastics on the ocean and its marine life. As Singapore is surrounded by neighbouring countries with mass plastic consumption, our tiny red dot gets heavily affected by all the pollution that gets washed up along our shores.

We’ve tried alternative packaging and going β€˜naked’, but it’s still not enough. Let’s tackle the issue together and discuss more ways for our communities and for the whole nation to seek alternatives and prevent single-use plastic consumption.

In Search of Purpose #24 - Behind the Laughter: An Evening with Irene Ang

Speakers, either local or overseas, are invited to share their personal stories and experiences about various topics that we hope will encourage the audience members to give back and be part of a more caring community in Singapore.

Join us this time, with guest speaker Irene Ang. Irene Ang became a household name in Singapore (and some say Malaysia) as Rosie Phua in Singapore's longest-running sitcom β€˜Phua Chu Kang Pte Ltd. More information about her can be found in the link below.
