It’s not uncommon to put a label to the things or the people we see around us. Often being masked with an β€œI’m just kidding”, these labels regardless of intent has an effect on those who hear it. How can we be mindful of what is being said and turn our speech into one that is uplifting and empowering?

Join us for our dialogue session to discuss the impact of these labels and how we can use our words for good!

Social Change for Climate Change

Can we really tackle climate change without social change?

While climate change is a pressing social issue, in Singapore (and perhaps the world), it still seems like an issue separate from the rest of society. But is it? What social changes do we need to see before we can unite society to care about climate change?

Come together with other like-minded social changemakers for an afternoon of ideation and experience sharing, as we draw the connections around what we as a society need to care about more and the relationship that links different social issues to climate change.

Naked Nights Presents: The Many Faces of Masculinity

The this event is the Many Faces of Masculinity. Our social and gender norms and expectations are changing, and both men and women are standing up for what they previously could not have, or who they could not be. For men, that means breaking free of the macho-driven stereotypes and embracing the ability to be vulnerable. What happens when men change the norm, socially and personally? What challenges do they face? What stories do they live to tell?

This topic will be explored through storytelling and conversation. We will be provoked to look at things in a new way by our storytellers, who will share their personal journeys and perspectives.

Dear Open Jio community,

This afternoon, OpenJio had our very first community gathering!

From the bottom of our hearts, #teamopenjio would like to THANK YOU for showing up, for the honest and heartfelt conversations, and for all the support we have received since we started OpenJio 10 months ago to ignite the passion for social issues.

YOU are the reason why we continue to do what we do!

Here at OpenJio, we believe that a caring society starts with people who care. We hope today's community gathering has helped to forge meaningful relationships, and inspired you to do more!

It takes great courage and conviction to fight for what you believe in, and we are humbled and inspired by how much love, compassion, and kindness you guys have to offer to this world.

Your heartwork is essential not only for the people you care for, but also for society.

Keep on hustling, continue to Stay OPEN & JIO your friends! πŸ€—
