INTRODUCTION

Living With Racism is a series of dialogue sessions that seek to uncover the lived realities and experiences of individuals within multi-racial Singapore. It aims to create a safe space where such personal stories can be shared amongst peers and meaningfully acknowledged. This will in turn help to foster solidarity and cohesion amongst our different communities, where we can come together and be a source of comfort for one another. This program aims to:

• Create a space where individuals from diverse backgrounds within Singapore can come together and safely share their stories of discrimination/prejudice amongst peers

• Facilitate discourse shaped around the lived experiences of participants and engage in discussions about the day-to-day realities of living in multi-racial Singapore

• Foster greater solidarity and cohesion amongst the different communities in Singapore by encouraging empathy and restorative practices

RACISM x MENTAL HEALTH

The inaugural edition of Living With Racism (LWR) will focus on the mental well-being of individuals who are affected by racial discrimination and prejudices on a day-to-day basis.

In past dialogues and events covering racial-religious harmony in Singapore, the topic of mental health and wellness have often been sidelined or engaged with very little depth. This is usually due to the lack of mental health training or hesitation on the part of the organisers/facilitators. Given the recent spate of overt racism during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in a time of heightened anxiety, it is time to dedicate a session to acknowledge the mental/psychological effects of racism and uncovering how we can cope in a healthy manner.
