About

Possibility Conversations are monthly 2 hour meet-ups for anyone interested in understanding social issues or are eager to take action to do something about them.

We will have some predefined topics each month but participants are free to propose a topic for a breakout session they want to host. Ideally, possibility conversations should touch on an idea that you have an interest in, but can only come to fruition if the right people come together. (There will be an online profile of all such community interest or action groups formed so that people can continue to discover and join them, and AGS can offer supportive infrastructure when the group is ready and if aligned with AGS community)

These are our current objectives:

  1. Collective (and accumulative) mapping of social issues & community assets; may feature most pertinent socio-cultural or political issue of the month
  2. Mutual support (for your own programmes, existing initiatives)
  3. Explore ideas and participate in new initiatives made possible by pooling diverse community assets or just having the right people in the room


Format and Rationale

  1. Guest Speaker + Q&A - (40 mins)
  2. Rounds - (30 mins)
  3. Possibility Conversations in Breakout Sections - (40 mins)
  4. Shareback - (10 mins)


Guest Speaker - New information and insights to be inserted ‘live’ to the relevant wiki pages through a dialogue informed and structured by existing knowledge gaps.

Rounds - All participants will take turns to speak through 2 quick rounds: 1) Basic Self-Introduction, 2) Suggested Topics for Possibility Conversation. Participants will also be offered assistance to sign up for a volunteer account on serve.sg and feature their skills and offers. (Serve.sg also allows volunteers to pitch ideas to organisations) Possibility Conversations - We will have some predefined topics each month but participants are free to propose a topic for a breakout session they want to host. Ideally, possibility conversations should touch on an idea that you have an interest in, but can only come to fruition if the right people come together.

Community Networks, Interest Groups and Action Groups

After the Possibility Conversations, any networks, interest groups or action groups formed will be populated here: Community Networks and Groups

This will make it easier for like-minded participants to discover each other.
