“Moving with the times - A Transportation Road Map by Youth in Singapore”
The Workers' Party Youth Wing takes great pleasure in inviting you to participate in an upcoming public forum as part of the YouthQuake Forum Series. This forum series is into its second installment. The topic for this session focuses on how youth can propose and carry forward a refreshing new approach to transportation issues in Singapore. YouthQuake offers an excellent opportunity for Singapore youth to exchange ideas and experiences and we are confident that the forum topic will stimulate participants to debate and discuss. We thus encourage you not to miss such an occasion where you can keep pace with the pulse of today's youth in a pleasant and stimulating atmosphere and experience the dynamic nature of youth-centric issues.
