Young leaders must navigate a volatile and rapidly changing future as advancing technologies and climate change create challenges such as social unrest, income inequality, unregulated development, and digital disruption.
Cognitive, vocational, and technical skills are increasingly inadequate to equip youths with the capabilities to chart their future. In line with Singapore's commitment to instill morals, values, and key principles for students, Stewardship Asia Centre strives to build the requisite knowledge, skills and attitudes that will enable youth to adequately handle competing and conflicting demands while holding firmly to their moral integrity and fulfilling their roles as responsible citizens.
Strong values and purposeful behaviours will enable young leaders to be better stewards as they shape a collectively better future for peace and progress.
Our programmes aim to:
- Strengthen Networks: Develop new bridges of community and collaboration for youth across Asia and beyond.
- Promote Ethics and Integrity: Guide ethical behaviour and decision-making.
- Empower Innovative Mindset: Elevating youth voices and empowering them to explore innovative ways to tackle environmental and social challenges.
