Theme for SISC 2021
Altruistic Thinkers, Global Citizens (ATGC)
In the wake of unprecedented challenges posed by the spread of COVID-19, entire societies all around the world have risen up courageously to tackle and minimise the negative impacts the pandemic has had on human lives. The need for us to see ourselves as global citizens and address issues as one united human family is more crucial now than ever before. In this e-SISC, we seek to encourage altruism for fellow men and develop both global and communal perspectives on multi-faceted problems. Participants will get to collaborate with experts, professionals and peers from different countries, deepen their capacity to resolve difficult situations, and explore solutions that can potentially benefit the lives of thousands across different parts of the world. Perhaps, just like the ACGT bases - adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T) - that make up our human DNA, the future of our humanity truly lies within us.
