With the kind support of our Venue Partner 

For ambitious young leaders - an experience like no other.

Skillseed & Geylang Adventures seek intrepid youth aged 18-35 to join the inaugural Adventurous Fellowship:

Gain in-depth knowledge of Singapore's prevailing social and environmental needs via experiential journeys framed by the tri-sectoral model, designed to inspire and empower you to catalyse the next wave of social change.  Fellows will get to meet and engage with dynamic change agents and thought leaders hailing from the government, private sector and civil society so as to truly appreciate and understand the complexity and inter-connectedness of social and environmental issues.

Explore the themes of Inequality, Integration and the Environment  to uncover the social impact landscape and complex mechanisms behind social change.

Selected fellows will be expected to attend Basecamp (26th May), one 2 Day 1 Night Camp (centered around one of the chosen themes above), and a Fellowship Summit (30th June), where fellows will convene to present their Theory of Change (a methodology Fellows will be equipped with during the Camp) to peers and key stakeholders, and engage in meaningful conversations on social change.

With the successful conclusion of The Adventurous Fellowship, we're excited to announce that the TAF journey to Chiang Mai is confirmed! From 8-13 December, we invite new and old Fellows alike to join us for a parallel study of the issues of the environment, inequality and integration in a different socio-economic and cultural context. The trip is confirmed, and we still have a few slots left - join us now!

FELLOWSHIP FRAMEWORK

MACRO MODEL: THE TRI-SECTOR PARTNERSHIP

In schools or corporations, our fixation on developing solutions has led to the undervaluation of the importance of understanding problems and appreciating their complexity. 

This has lead to solutions that with short-lived effectiveness or that are counter-productive to change on a deeper level. Through a blend of immersive conversations and experiential trails with multi-sectoral stakeholders in Singapore, Fellows will analyze 3 core themes through the critical lens of the tri-sector framework.

The emphasis is a careful consideration of multi-sectoral perspectives and a thorough understanding of issues on the ground, hence inspiring collaborative and lasting solutions.

Aside from the camp they have chosen to attend, the Fellowship experience includes the Base Camp and the Summit Of Minds for Fellows from all 3 camps.
