Gamemasters' Message

The inaugural edition of the Hwa Chong Global Digital Young Leaders Convention is a unique platform for delegates from all corners of the world to conference and collaborate. Delegates can look forward to a convention where they are immersed into an alternate reality of a global pandemic, taking on roles of various stakeholders to respond to different crises. It is our goal for all delegates to be able to engage in fruitful discourse by reconciling the potentially conflicting interests of different stakeholders and collaborating to resolve the crisis together.

Given its fully digital nature, the organising team hopes to challenge the boundaries of traditional conventions by harnessing the potential of technology. Delegates can expect discussion formats to be digitally gamified, as well as for inter-delegate and cross-cultural interactions to transcend geographical barriers and timezones with a plethora of exciting programmes.

The ultimate goal is for delegates to develop pertinent global competencies and widen their perspectives even without the need to travel out of their home country. By the end of the convention, delegates should be able to empathise with and understand how different stakeholders are affected in a crisis, and be equipped with the necessary skills to explore the complexities of society from both a macro and micro perspective. Lastly, we hope that delegates can look beyond the confines of their classrooms, harnessing their knowledge and experiences to take concrete action and create a positive impact on their society.

We wish all delegates a fulfilling experience during the Hwa Chong Global Digital Young Leaders Convention. Stay safe, and stay healthy.

Yours sincerely,
Gamemasters
