Conversations Reimagined: Urban Poverty The Hidden Struggles

For every 10 persons we meet, it is very likely that one of them has or is experiencing food insecurity. These people could very well include our own friends, neighbours and even family. As a community, we need to take it upon ourselves to ensure that no one is left to struggle with fulfilling their basic necessities.

Overcoming food insecurity is an excellent milestone towards the eradication of urban poverty in Singapore. We can make this seemingly impossible task an achievable one with communal effort.
Be part of our event, Conversations Reimagined: Urban Poverty, The Hidden Struggles for a purposeful discussion and learn more about food insecurity from the researchers behind “The hunger report: an in-depth look at food insecurity in Singapore”.

After, stay on to partake in an engaging exchange among social work practitioners from various Voluntary Welfare Organisations, as they deepen our understanding of urban poverty and uncover the untold experiences of the urban poor in Singapore.

Organiser
The Best of You
At the heart of the movement, The Best of You is about appreciation. Since its inception, the movement has been powered by the authentic stories of people from all walks of life within our community. These stories are tributes to the people and experiences that have shaped our lives and brought out the best in each and every one of us. The Best of You consciously partners various organisations, artists and storytellers to share both the struggles and accomplishments of everyday people from our community – especially those from marginalised communities.

In doing so, the movement hopes to celebrate the diverse groups of people that make up our community, remind ourselves of our shared humanity, and encourage the reimagination of a better tomorrow for all - one that leaves no one behind.

The Best of You is an initiative by the biscuits manufacturer, Julie’s.
