Join this conversation with USP faculty Dr Leung Wing Sze, three USP students and four invited speakers – Debbie Fordcye (President of Transient Workers Count Too (TWC2)), Mayrhose Coronado (a self-taught and award-winning photographer who worked in Singapore as a domestic helper), Zakir Hossain Khokon (a construction supervisor and freelance journalist) and Madhavan Ramasamy (a construction site engineer and a poet) – as they look at various issues and difficulties migrant workers in Singapore have experienced during and after the COVID-19 lockdown, as well as the treatment they deserve. Three USP students – Vera Khoo, Tan Jun Jie and Justin Quek – will also present findings from their research during the session.

USP will be having our virtual Open Day from 4 – 6 March. There will be a range of activities such as USP and NUS-Sciences Po Double Degree Programme talks, live chats with USP current students, interactive tours of USP and Cinnamon College, sample classes by our faculty members and an online forum to engage with prospective students.

The CTPCLC holds its symposium annually to provide a platform for its fellows to present and share the knowledge and experiences they have gained from their social research and/or community development projects. At the same time, the symposium hopes to reach out to and inspire more NUS students to take on the responsibility to address social issues in Singapore. The CTPCLC fellows, some of whom are also USP students, will discuss the field research projects they have undertaken with various social service organisations. Thereafter, Guest-of-Honour Minister for Culture, Community and Youth and Second Minister for Law, Mr Edwin Tong, will engage with participants in a dialogue. We strongly encourage USP students to join in this symposium and conversation with Minister Tong.
