HarmonyWorks! Conference
OnePeople.sg’s HarmonyWorks! Conference is a signature youth-driven initiative which explores key trends and issues of race relations in Singapore. This annual youth-led conference provides a platform for youths to speak their thoughts and gather insights on pertinent issues concerning race and religious relations. Participants are engaged by academics, political and community leaders on current trends and developments.
The 2026 conference, themed “Don’t Just Scroll Past,” explored issues including casual racism online, navigating the line between openness and offence in the digital space, and appreciating heritage through technology. Breakout sessions delved deeper into these topics, alongside an engagement with Guest of Honour, Ms Jasmin Lau, Acting Minister for Manpower and Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Digital Development and Information.
OnePeople.sg Model United Nations (OPMUN)
The annual OPSG Model United Nations (OPMUN) Conference is a youth-for-youth initiative that simulates UN Committees with students role-playing as delegates. This is the only conference in the Model United Nations circuit that has a key focus on racial and religious issues in Singapore. Youths act as local agencies and governmental bodies to discuss policy and ground issues concerning race relations and develop values of diplomacy.
Into its 11th year, OPMUN 2026 was themed “Together into a New Era” which allowed a rejuvenation of our common ideal of moving into a more harmonious society. The conference was graced by the Guest of Honour, Mdm Rahayu Mahzam, Minister of State, Ministry of Digital Development and Information & Ministry of Health.
Leading up to the conference, our youth volunteers get trained in the EiE Facilitator Course. Equipped with the necessary facilitation skills, our youth volunteers will then moderate council
discussions as well as sessions with Subject Matter Experts and religious leaders to broaden the participants’ understanding on key tenets of diverse faiths in Singapore.
In addition, our youth volunteers also champion advocacy projects, exploring a range of issues pertaining to race relations in Singapore.
