This page documents the existing collaborators and ideas for a Community Forum 2020 event.

We invite all who are interested to co-organise, co-design or give inputs to the event, and also to participate when it happens.

Background of Community Forum

  • This is meant to be a Forum About the Community, For the Community, and By the Community. The purpose is to showcase initiatives that have the potential to unlock the collaborative and collective power of community organisations and informal groups. 
  • Previously, IPS organised the inaugural Community Forum 2018 but would like to partner with community organisations in running subsequent runs.  

Current Collaborators

  • Beyond Social Services (Gerard Ee)
  • OpenJio (Hilda & Amos)
  • A Good Space (Vincent) - knows many groups who have innovative forms of engagement instead of just lecture, eg D&D game
  • Institute of Policy Studies (Justin Lee)

Objectives of Forum

Get to know various communities and those who work with those communities. Raise awareness of less visible groups amongst us, and the ground-up initiatives that offer mutual support and build relationships. (Get to know one another)

Catalyse community-based and community-led initiatives through facilitating collaboration amongst relevant groups. (Do something together)
