Wealth inequality in developed countries has risen to a 30-year high, according to a recent report by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). In Singapore, the gap between the wealthy and the poor has become a major concern. But instead of just noticing this gap, let’s take action and innovate in an effort to address these growing inequalities.
This event will present an overview of the social services landscape to better highlight the possibilities of creating future social changes in Singapore. It will also present one of UniSIM’s top and high profile education curriculum, the practice-oriented Non-Profit Management Programme designed for social innovators and social visionary leaders who want to make a real impact to address the pressing needs in the region.
This dynamic platform will allow for exchanging of ideas and discussing issues related to the following topics:
- What does the evolving social sector landscape look like to you?
- What opportunities are available to PMETs in this space?
- What are the emerging innovations in the social sector?
Please join us in this discussion to unlock new ideas and innovative projects to continually improve and make Singapore a greater state for everyone.
