🕑: 01:00 PM - 02:30 PM
[Dialogue] Online Action, Offline Changes
Host: Adeline Tay
Info: From climate change to mental wellness, youths are leading movements with creative, engaging, and accessible digital content. Whether through artistic visuals, PowerPoint-styled storytelling, or other innovative formats, youth are redefining advocacy with a softer yet impactful approach. Social media is now more than just a space for self-expression and entertainment - it has become a powerful tool for humanitarian work.
This workshop is designed to explore how digital platforms can be harnessed to raise awareness, foster compassion, and inspire action. Through interactive discussions and real-world examples, participants will discover how everyday users can spark meaningful change by demystifying social media as an exclusive platform with polar ends.
🕑: 03:00 PM - 04:30 PM
[Dialogue] Human Library
Host: Ng Kai Yuan, Co-founder of Our Grandfather Story
Info: Step into a living library where stories come to life. The Human Library is a unique experience that brings people from diverse backgrounds together, creating a space for open, honest and transformative conversations. A concept that originated in Denmark, this session will allow participants to “borrow” real people instead of books.
The session will celebrate the richness of diversity within the humanitarian network and empower individuals to take bolder steps towards change. Through these conversations, participants will discover unexpected commonalities, break down barriers, and explore how collective action can address pressing humanitarian and social issues. By listening to lived experiences, we move beyond assumptions and towards a space of greater empathy, collaboration and positive impact.

[Dialogue] Red Cross Red Crescent Panel
Host: Amal Emam, CEO of Egyptian Red Crescent
Info: The Red Cross Red Crescent Panel brings together representatives from various National Societies to share insights into the collective power of the Movement. This session will highlight the Movement’s dual impact: responding to global emergencies while meeting the unique and evolving needs of local communities. Through a dynamic and thoughtful dialogue, this panel will explore the pivotal role of volunteers in bridging communities with humanitarian objectives, and how their everyday actions translate into meaningful, sustained impact. The panel will also delve into how the RCRC Movement continues to adapt, innovate, and build resilience across diverse contexts strengthening solidarity, preparedness, and compassion from the ground up.

[Dialogue] Partners Panel
Host: Tony Soh, CEO of NVPC
Info: The Singapore Red Cross has brought together leaders from four partner organizations deeply embedded in Singapore’s social landscape for a compelling conversation on the “Power of You: Force for Humanity”. The Partners Panel challenges the notion that humanitarianism is reserved for large institutions, highlighting instead how compassion, service, and change can begin with each of us as individuals. Through this dialogue, we will explore how these organizations empower individuals to become everyday humanitarians, whether as volunteers, caregivers, advocates, or neighbours. The panel will also address the real-world challenges they face in sustaining such efforts, and how we can collectively inspire, support, and celebrate acts of everyday humanitarianism that quietly shape a more resilient and compassionate society.
