In 2012, the Singapore Government started the nation-wide public engagement process to open up conversations and engaged Singaporeans to share their ideas on how to make Singapore a better place for Singaporeans.
A select group of facilitators were invited to be part of the design team and engagement team to design and lead in the facilitation sessions.
As one of the volunteer Lead Facilitators, Choon Seng will share the evolution public engagements in Singapore and some of his experiences and lessons he has learnt through the process.
Draft outline for the session:
• Background and historical Context of Public Engagement in Singapore
• What is the Our Singapore Conversation (OSC)
• The role of facilitation and facilitator in public engagement
• Future of dialogue in the increasingly polarizing world
Introduction of “ The power of Dialogue- Conversations with Masters”
CP Yen Foundation’s mission is “promote the art of dialogue, foster positive changes”
We believe, the basic ingredient for collaboration is dialogue-
As Peter Senge/ Otto Scharmer said, All solution starts with a conversation or dialogue The quality of dialogue will determine the quality of learning and decision.
How do we enhance the power of dialogue to help a group make better decisions? How can we learn together and support each other’s successes and challenges as a community of dialogue practitioners? These questions are the reasons why the CP Yen Foundation is hosting a series of discussions called “The power of Dialogue-conversations with Masters”.
Zoom meeting link will be sent out 3 days before the session
