Ongoing A4G Projects

Call To Action
Call To Action is the first online and cross-cultural edition of the Living Newspaper, that aims to engage young people from Singapore, Southeast Asia and Scotland to reimagine a new world post-pandemic, through applied theatre techniques and digital mediums.
Led by SIF Arts for Good Fellow Clara Bloomfield (Scotland) of Collision Theatre, SIF Arts for Good Fellow Shaza Ishak, Khairina Khalid and Rizman Putra (Singapore) of Teater Ekamatra, a group of young people from Scotland and Singapore create digital editions of The Living Newspaper focusing on their own realities. The first two editions explore ‘the power-laden relationships’ between self and society within their countries. Through reflection and deliberation, these young participants critically considered the lived experiences through their stories, and what they want to leave the viewer with through their digital living newspapers, as their Call To Action.

Wisdom Wellbeing
The Wisdom Wellbeing Project hopes to provide people with accessible tools and perspectives from thought-leaders, experts and educators to cultivate, nurture and sustain positive mental health. The project creates and curates meaningful resources to help cope with mental wellbeing challenges, especially in the COVID-19 era, through dialogue and participation.
These resources included virtual and interactive workshops, online conversations, a social media campaign and 10 care packages or toolkits curated on different themes, co-curated with mental health experts, counsellors, art therapists, artists, thinkers, educators and storytellers.
Led by SIF Arts for Good Fellow Deepak Ramola and his team from Project Fuel in India, four art therapists from Singapore facilitated workshops on Reconnecting with Self and Refueling Creativity, and curated care packages on themes such as creativity, self-love and care for caregivers. These digital toolkits were illustrated by Singaporean artist Loh Chi En Deborah.
