SINGAPORE : The Feedback Unit is getting a group of 28 young Singaporeans to help revamp its website.
They will conduct brainstorming and discussion sessions over the next few months to get ideas on how to promote youth participation in feedback activities.
They will also explore the use of new technologies and the development of a youth community website.
The Singaporeans, aged 15 to 25 years old, have responded to the Feedback Unit's call for help to make its website more usable and user-centric.
They comprise mostly students, with a handful of working adults.
Five are residing overseas.
Dubbed the 'Youth Panel', these youth volunteers are heavy Internet and SMS users drawn from the Feedback Unit's People Forum database.
New features in the website will include using SMS to give feedback, dedicated community webpage for youths and Mobile blog or Weblog.
Feedback Unit says this is the first time it is forming a youth panel to help generate new ideas for its revamped website. - CNA
