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.
We are a cultural-change consultancy that leads a civic centre with a mission to create whole communities. We help you work on what's not working for yourself, your people and your organisation so that we can all do better together.

Info: Is the Good Life a Shared Life? In this opening Citizen Circles, we’ll begin by exploring whether the Good Life is something we can create on our own or something we must build together. From access to resources to connection and community, how are our lives shaped by others? Together, we'll reflect on just how interconnected we really are and what that means for how we live well.

Info: What needs to be explored so that more of us can live the Good Life? In this closing Citizen Circles, we’ll come back together as a large group to get curious about the many unique, and sometimes deeply niche, but all equally necessary pieces that make up the larger puzzle of the Good Life. There are many different things that are important to many different people – all needed to live the Good Life. We invite you to explore the worlds you are curious about and those you never thought to wonder about before.
