This programme is suitable for adults.
When was the last time you allowed yourself to pause?
In Asian culture, when things go wrong, sometimes the first reaction is: “Why you never work harder?”, “Are you becoming lazy?”, “Others can do it, why cannot you?” We are taught to push.

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.
