TNPS 2022 — Learning Journey One: Regenerative City and its Commons

Synopsis

The Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) and Tote Board invite you to the first learning journey of the 2022 Transforming the Non-Profit Sector (TNPS) series. This virtual learning journey explores the Transition Towns movement, which is a movement of communities coming together to reimagine and rebuild their world. We will address the following questions: What does a good life encompass? How can local communities come together to use mostly local resources to meet their needs in urban Singapore? How can the non-profit sector help to unlock hidden capacities within communities so that everyone can contribute to and collectively manage their common wealth?

TNPS is a three-year partnership between IPS and Tote Board that aims to enhance the capabilities of non-profit organisations as well as support public-private-people partnerships. The theme for this year is “Solutions that Help Us Help One Another”, where we will highlight the often-neglected “impulse from the ground” and how non-profits can harness existing assets and consider new ways to help communities help themselves. We will examine how mutual aid, professional help and philanthropic giving can play mutually supportive and complementary roles in the non-profit sector to unlock the hidden potential and untapped capacities of communities.
