About our past work

Since the founding of Skillseed in 2013, we are honoured to have been a part of a variety of different projects, collaborating with a range of partners all across the world.

While these projects are no longer active, we are open to discussions if you or your organisation or school require something similar to anything you see here. Just drop us an email to enquire, and we will take the conversation from there!

SMU OCSP 2021: Project Hai Khun

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Skillseed partnered with Singapore Management University (SMU) and BEAM Education Foundation (BEAM) in Thailand, to create a 3-month programme where SMU participants were challenged and empowered to design and facilitate a 6-week programme for the BEAM students.

To equip the SMU participants, we conducted 4-6 pre-equipping sessions, and held regular clinic and practice sessions to equip participants with the necessary skill sets, provide feedback to refine the curricula, and ensure meaningful engagement with the BEAM students.
