If you can't make it this week, they have it next week too! Or, you can head down again😂 - each performance will play out differently, as it's a forum theatre. We think the demographics for chinese and english will be really different, so it'd be pretty interesting to understand the nuances of each unique play! 😁 http://bit.ly/2x4Rd7q

Good Morning! We hope you're having a wonderful Sunday morning! Here are some upcoming events to keep you inspired🌈😊

☺ Beyond Social Services is organising Fairground, a fundraising carnival to raise funds and forge friendships happening at *SCAPE this year.

We aim to raise awareness on inequality through two programmes:

1⃣ Bukit Kuning theatre production: From the good people of Singapore Polytechnic comes a story about how we as outsiders may see poverty. Often through the lens carried from our own personal baggage, privilege and income that might not be helpful in the end. It is an interactive theatre performance that will definitely provoke your views.

Ticket cost: $10 Register on the day itself at *SCAPE.

🔴 Date: 22nd Sept 2018, Sat
🔵 Time: 3pm
⚫ Venue: Hubquarters Level 4 *SCAPE
Registration: on the day registration at *SCAPE information counter
(located at the escalator near DBS Bank 1st floor)

2⃣ Stories from the Heartlands is an inspired Human Library experience where we have gathered human books from youths, volunteers, mothers and professionals who have braved themselves to talk about a challenging topic - Inequality and Poverty. They will be opening their life to readers.

🔴 Date: 22nd Sept 2018, Sat
🔵 Time: 130pm-430pm
⚫ Venue: hubquarters at level 4
