National Youth Council Singapore

NYC is proud to have led a 10-member youth delegation to the MiSK Global Forum 2024 from 18 to 19 November 2024 - a flagship event hosted annually by the Misk Foundation in Saudi Arabia to foster meaningful discussions, exchange ideas, and create networking opportunities among young leaders globally. Led by the CEO of NYC, David Chua, our delegation includes youth leaders from MUIS’ Asatizah Youth Network and Mosque Clusters. Beyond attending the Forum, the delegates visited other youth sector organisations in Saudi Arabia to exchange insights, explore potential partnerships, and learn from best practices. Together, let's continue to amplify youth-led initiatives, nurture connections, and spark positive change around the globe! #nycsg #MiSKGlobalForum #MFG2024 #YouthEmpowerment #GlobalLeadership #YouthVoices #ForYouthByYouth

The 6th edition of the ASEAN Youth Fellowship (AYF) brought together 44 youth leaders from 11 Southeast Asian countries from 3 to 10 November 2024. This year, we were pleased to have Timor-Leste joining us at AYF for the first time!   Organised by the National Youth Council and the Singapore International Foundation, the theme for AYF this year was “Enhancing Connectivity and Resilience” and was held in both Singapore and Laos.   Our AYF Fellows had the opportunity to discuss topics such as digital transformation, inclusivity, and sustainability in the region with prominent thought leaders from diverse sectors. They also gained insights to organisations in Singapore and Laos where they learnt about innovation and how to build a more connected ASEAN.    May the friendships and connections last beyond the programme, and we look forward to our youths creating greater impact in the region together!   To find out more about how you can make a footprint in the region, visit https://lnkd.in/guZ9qJdN #AYF2024 #ASEANYouthFellowship #YouthLeaders #ASEANYouthLeaders #YoungLeaders #MakingConnections #LeadershipSkills #ASEAN #NYC #SIF

On 14 November, NYC hosted a fireside chat with Mr Ho Kwon Ping, Founder and Executive Chairman of Banyan Group, where he engaged in an insightful discussion with our INSPIRIT members on the theme of "Building Our Future Economy and Business Leaders”. Mr Ho shared invaluable insights on the importance of emotional intelligence in navigating complex business landscapes. He emphasised how international exposure and embracing risks can foster innovation and personal growth. His advice resonated deeply with the attendees: to seek purpose beyond financial success and to build meaningful relationships rooted in trust and understanding. Special thanks to INSPIRIT members Adriel Yong 👋🏻, Nathaniel Yim, Estelle H., and CHEN JUN (C.J.) LUO for co-driving this event. We are also grateful to INSPIRIT members for their active participation and insightful questions throughout the session. We look forward to hosting more engagements in the future to inspire and connect more youths. #INSPIRIT #success #business #leaders #innovation

Our youths have a part to play in the “One Resilient Common Future”.   Two NYC youth leaders joined their peers from across Commonwealth member states at the 13th Commonwealth Youth Forum (CYF) held in Samoa in October 2024, to share and explore solutions to key challenges and opportunities facing young people.   Yi Jun Mock and Sheila Manokaran also discussed how they would bring their ideas to key decision makers in their own respective countries. The Commonwealth youth leaders built important cross-cultural networks and were united in ensuring that the youth voice continues to be heard, as the Commonwealth moves towards the future.   As national delegates to the Commonwealth, Yi Jun and Sheila will continue speaking about Singapore at such platforms. NYC is here to support them to be heard, be empowered, and be the change they want to see.   #CommonwealthYouthForum #Commonwealth #YouthLeaders

Toxic workplaces, burnout, and job search challenges are some of the top concerns for working youths today.   Hear from our youth council member Viaano Spruyt as he discusses how youths can navigate these challenging work situations and develop mental resilience, and how mentoring can provide more support and guidance for youth. https://lnkd.in/giZhGXkX #nycsg

The Youth Action Challenge has officially kicked off with the YAC Season 6 context setting session! 🔥 Participants got to know each other abit better, before meeting the different speakers, who led themed panel discussions. Participants then split into breakout groups for some in-depth idea exchanges. The session dived deep into all four themes and participants shared some incredible ideas. We can't wait to see these concepts come to life. Stay tuned for more updates. #YouthActionChallenge #YouthActionChallengeSG #YACS6 #nycsg #sparkthenext #innovation #youthaction #ideas #community

Building a sustainable future starts with our youth! We thank Minister Grace Fu for sharing her invaluable insights with our Climate Youth Development Programme (CYDP) participants. The fireside chat reinforced the critical role of collective action in advancing Singapore's climate goals and achieving net zero emissions by 2050 requires a whole-of-nation effort. By partnering with our youth, we can harness their creativity, energy, and passion to drive meaningful change. NYC is committed to empowering young climate leaders with the tools, training, and support they need to drive the transition to a greener tomorrow. #NYCSG #CYDP #Climate #Leaders #Sustainability #NetZero #Empowerment

NYC is committed to fostering and empowering visionary young leaders of the future! The Our Singapore Leadership Programme (OSLP) 2024 has brought together young leaders from INSPIRIT to enhance their understanding of Singapore's policies and the challenges that face our nation. Through engagements with senior civil servants, corporate leaders, and political office holders, participants gained insights into the complex decision-making processes behind our policies and delved deeper into the ongoing global trends that could shape the future of Singapore. Let's cheer on our young leaders as they pave the way for a more resilient, inclusive, and vibrant society. #nycsg #OurSingaporeLeadershipProgramme #OSLP #INSPIRIT #community #leader #leadership #empowerment
