As Singapore faces a rapidly ageing population, it is imperative to find sustainable ways to support active, connected and inclusive communities for all ages. Arts- and design-led community initiatives are serve as powerful platforms that promote active participation, self-expression and wellbeing. Additionally, the arts are an effective medium for intercultural, intergenerational and inclusive learning that facilitates meaningful interactions, promoting mutual understanding, respect and cultural exchange.

Through an interactive case study sharing of NAFA's GLab initiative by industry stakeholders, participants will explore the transformative power of arts- and design-led community programmes that foster inclusive learning and engagement. Participants will also learn more about the fundamental considerations behind embarking on creative community programmes, as well as the research methodologies employed to map and evaluate impact.

Join us to be enriched with insights on conducting engaged research that advances the value of the arts and creativity for more connected and resilient communities.
