Syinc - Syinconnect

Syinc - Syinconnect

What's Syinconnect 2010 about? Following our inaugural run in 2008, Syinconnect is back this 16-17 October 2010! This time, we're using a different angle: Using design thinking to tackle social issues.

Over the two-day conference, participants will experience the "design thinking" process through an exploration of the different problems encountered by a particular beneficiary group in Singapore. We are collaborating with an NGO and design professionals, who will guide participants in creating solutions to the problems.

Instead of a conference comprised of a series of talks to learn lessons from others, Syinconnect will take you right into the jungle (as it were) - with a field research element to bring you behind the scenes of the issue and understand it better. If you are a passionate tertiary student with (some) experience working on social issues/projects, curious, and open to new ideas, we want you. Join us as we experiment with a way of learning and experiencing that hasn't even been done in Singapore before (until now, that is!).
