Our 2nd upcoming event will be a
fundraising event! This is regarding Project Poverty Living Around You (PLAY),
which SSWS has adopted. Project PLAY is
a project initiated by Social Work undergraduates, which includes a theatre
production and an exhibition to tackle the issue of poverty in Singapore.
Hence, the objective of this event is to raise funds through the collection of
newspaper so as to launch this project. We really hope you could join us in our
Newspaper Collection / Flyer Distribution to raise funds! You can sign up at

Last but not least, our very own Social Work majors
have piloted the first Inter-Professional Education (IPE) together with the
Nursing Faculty students and are currently embarking on this exciting journey
in implementing a project entitled Project H3: Heads,
Hands, Hearts! It
aims to foster working relationships among Social Work and Nursing students, to
enable students to see patients using a person-in-environment perspective and
to educate students on effective communication with patients from different
backgrounds. H3 will last over 2 days, 31st August and 7th September 2013:
Day 1:
·
Part
1: Walk-A-Mile, a poverty simulation game which participants will assume roles
play in induced real life scenarios and learn to conduct decision making that
would enhance their health given their situation.
·
Part
2: Talks by professionals in the field
Day 2 (AM):

Visiting
