SINGAPORE — Young people aged 15 to 35 are invited to submit ideas to solve municipal issues such as corridor clutter, neighbourhood noise and irresponsible pet ownership, the Municipal Services Office (MSO) and National Youth Council (NYC) said on Friday (May 26).
In a joint statement, the agencies said youths will be mentored and provided with up to S$10,000 per project to pilot their ideas, which can include"public education campaigns, community outreach, production of collaterals, and behavioural insights interventions"."They are also encouraged to consider scaling up or replicating successful projects that were deployed in previous challenges and have proven to be effective," said the agencies.
One example is the"Commeownity" public education campaign launched by a team from ITE College West to promote the responsible care of community cats. Following these workshops, teams will then pitch their projects to a panel of judges from MSO, NYC, the National Parks Board, as well as selected industry experts to obtain funding support for implementation, the statement said.Community noise: Participants are tasked to think of ways to encourage residents to be considerate towards one another and keep their noise levels down.
