Since its early beginnings in the 1800s, Singapore has been a hub that brought people from all around the world together. This tradition of collaboration and discussion has continued and prospered to this day. While the conversations of the past may be quite different from the dialogues of today, the importance is even more significant given the collective pressing needs for our planet. Singapore is known as a global leader in new technology, innovation, and ideas, to provide an excellent backdrop for addressing the future needs of our world. As young adults, it is up to us to take a stand and make global change, which is the nature of our symposium theme: oriGIN. After all, Singapore can serve as the starting point for new initiatives as students will learn the Global Issues Network motto to “think global and act local.” Our speakers will share their origins regarding a variety of subjects including social issues, sustainability, and education with the delegates through keynotes and panel discussions. By interacting with experts, students can begin to create their own path and mark their origin.
