socialservice.sg presents: "Before the Ballot"

With Isaac James Neo, we preview the 2023 episodes for our "Civic Engagement and Action" mini-series, where we have conversations about expanding communities and spaces for sustained civic engagement and political participation. These are the episodes we referenced today:

• What’s next for youth climate change activism and action in Singapore?
• The potential and challenges of social media civic discussions in Singapore (with assistant professor Walid Jumblatt Bin Abdullah)
• Role-playing as a Singaporean civil servant in “What’s the Matter, Mr. Monster?” (with director Roshan Singh Sambhi)
• Sustaining migrant worker advocacy and volunteer involvement in Singapore (with HealthServe executive director Michael Cheah)
• Let’s talk about “Jom”: Singapore’s new digital magazine

And here is the article Isaac wrote for "Jom" (subscription needed): "Pragmatic resistance: adaptation or co-option?"
