ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
Connecting Narratives for Change Festival is an annual community festival for anyone interested in change-making in Singapore. Each year, we gather at Common Ground Civic Centre to work on the things that matter to us that need to change.
At the festival, we collaborate with socially-oriented organisations from different industries and sectors who are the Resident and Community Partners at Common Ground Civic Centre. Through experiential activities, each of our programme partners will respond to these social concerns through their perspectives and expertise, unique to their own domains.
This year, we want to explore how we can live the Good Life - by building healthier homes, creating kinder workplaces and gathering as whole communities.

Lunch and light refreshments will be provided throughout the day for both ticket types (i.e. All-day Pass and Single Session Pass). This will be partially catered by the local businesses in Bedok Central!
The festival is designed as a full-day experience so that participants can explore different perspectives that respond to the same central question. With that said, a limited quantity of single session tickets are available for selected Parallel Breakout Sessions.
Sessions are selected on a first-come-first-serve basis when you purchase tickets. If you'd like to change sessions, you may write in to civiccentre@ourcommonground.com.sg to check if there are still spots available.
