Plant-Based Singapore: Individual Action or Structural Change by Post Growth Singapore

This event aims to unpack the assumptions and limitations of individual action as the core strategy for systems change, and hopefully point environmentally concerned individuals towards more rewarding and effective practices to make a meaningful difference in the world🌎

In this Post-Growth Circle, they will be studying the vegan movement. Is the central strategy of changing individual consumption working? Consider how shifting focus to the structures that shape meat consumption and production can provide alternative pathways for creating a plant-based future🍏

This event is for anyone who is interested in a more plant-based future, whether for ethical, environmental, or public health reasons🌱

You do not need to be a vegan to join.

🧠 Why Hurt Children Hurt Children

Not everything gets left behind with childhood.
Sometimes, the hurt stays in the way we speak to ourselves, respond to conflict, build relationships, and understand love.

Why Hurt Children Hurt Children is an interactive public experience by #EveryChildSG that explores the emotional wounds many people grow up normalising, and how unresolved pain can quietly shape the way we relate to ourselves and others. Through immersive storytelling and reflection, the experience invites participants to rethink silence, healing, and the long-term impact of childhood experiences. 💭
