CCE for Let’s Talk About: The Seniors at the Void Deck (17 July)
Let’s Talk About series:
Let’s Talk About is a four-part series that delves deep into the unseen, unspoken and unsung parts of Singapore. Designed for young people aged 6 – 12, these engaging sessions provide a way for parents and educators to unpack pertinent and relevant topics with young learners.
Let’s Talk About has been developed in collaboration with The Birthday Collective specifically to encourage all of us to think again about current topics, and to build empathy in the way that we respond in complex situation. After an introduction by a guest speaker, each session will provide a practical hands-on activity that enables us to process new ideas and a live Q&A session with an opportunity to ask follow-up questions.
Find out more about this Let’s Talk About Series.

Feeling the Future Talk with Lynn Froggett and Lizzie Muller
Lynn Froggett and Lizzie Muller speak about how exhibitions help us imagine the future through a process of ‘cultural contagion’, where we ‘catch’ feelings and ideas as they circulate in the social unconscious. After the pandemic, they can support the civic role of museums in bringing what is ‘felt’ into public conversation.
