YOG Thematic Youth Festival

YOG Thematic Youth Festival

The Thematic Youth Festival brainstorming session is one of many activities that SYOGOC has conducted to get the views of youths, canvass for ideas from young Singaporeans and get them involved in Singapore 2010.

These activities include the Youth Creative Retreat in June 2008, a focus group discussion with young Singaporean athletes in August 2008 and the Nanyang Technical University School of Art, Design and Media brainstorming session on the opening ceremony in September 2008, amongst others.

With so many ways for you to be involved, what are you doing as part of Singapore 2010?

The quarterly Thematic Youth Festivals is a series of five celebrations on different Games-related themes.

Each festival will be three-month long, with an opening marquee event in town and other events around Singapore.

Each opening marquee event will be organized by students from the Nanyang Technological University, the National University of Singapore, the Singapore Institute of Management and the Singapore Management University.

The first festival starting in January 2009 will have “Sports” as the theme. It will also coincide with some tertiary institutions events, like the NTU Vertical Marathon in March 2009.

The Thematic Youth Festivals aim to give young people Singapore avenues to get involved and will have performances showcasing youth talents and display creative works from the young people.
