In this episode, we talk to two curators from the Young Changemakers grant, a ground-up kickstarter grant by the National Youth Council that has offered seed funding to numerous youth projects for the last 15 years.
We talk about what making change means to each of us and discuss that tricky subject of comparing the value of different kinds of initiatives as grant curators. We also talk about how much say Singaporeans have in deciding what kind of change can be made around us - How accessible is changemaking, and can people be selfish in their journey of making a difference?
