SG60 Voices from the Heart vol. 18

About the Event

This programme is suitable for adults.

SG60 Voices from the Heart is a community storytelling movement celebrating Singapore’s 60th year by amplifying voices that are often unheard. It is a live platform where everyday people step onto the stage to share real stories of resilience, struggle, hope, and transformation.

In a world that often highlights titles and achievements, this initiative brings us back to what truly connects us—our human experiences. Each session gathers speakers from different walks of life to speak honestly about their journeys, reminding us that behind every face is a story worth telling.

Organised under SG60 Voices from the Heart, each volume is designed as a themed gathering of courage, reflection, and connection—where stories become bridges between strangers.

SG60 Voices from the Heart is more than an event—it is a living archive of Singapore’s stories: raw, real, and deeply human.
