Common Ground launches programme for aspiring youth leaders to create impactful content in the social sector
The programme will be held from June to December this year and features a mixture of in-person workshops, online lectures and curated panel discussions.
Calling all aspiring youth leaders and social media influencers who want to broaden their skills in telling more engaging and impactful stories!
The Creating Narratives for Change Programme (CNCP), an initiative by Common Ground in partnership with the National Youth Council, aims to equip the next generation of youth with skills to create meaningful content that can influence society.
The programme consists of eight modules with 140 hours of learning from June to December this year.
Due to safe distancing guidelines, the programme will be held in two batches concurrently. The first batch of courses will run from Jun 5 to Nov 13, while the second batch of classes will run from Jun 12 to Nov 20.
Through this programme, participants will learn to expand their skill set in areas such as personal leadership, business management and content creation. Participants will also learn to tell stories about social and community issues they are passionate about more effectively.
CALLING ALL COMMUNITY BUILDERS AND STORYTELLERS! Today’s rapidly shifting climate of complex social issues demands a new urgency and finesse in how we talk about the work being done to transform our communities. In partnership with National Youth Council Singapore, the Creating Narratives for Change Programme aims to equip the next generation of community builders with skills to engage audiences with narratives that will open their eyes, evoke curiosity and empathy, and offer alternative perspectives in a crowded media space. As a young person seeking to make change happen in Singapore, you begin by having your voice be heard. Applications open on 3 May.
