Last weekend, we had the privilege of being a part of NTU SSC 2025 Networking Day held at NTU's North Spine Plaza. It was a dynamic and purpose-driven gathering of industry professionals, student changemakers – to inspire and empower youth to create positive social impact.

Our Contribution

As part of the event, Make The Change led a Masterclass on Effective Presentation. Our Community Engagement & Partnerships Senior Executive, Ms Nabilah Tai, guided students through a 60-minute interactive session focused on strengthening their presentation skills – a crucial asset for anyone championing a cause or pitching a policy. From structuring content to confident delivery, the workshop equipped participants with the tools they need to speak up for the change they wish to see.

Later in the day, our Co-founder and Community and Impact Director, Mr Pedro Aguirre, joined a fireside chat alongside esteemed industry leaders. He shared insights on driving social innovation and staying grounded in purpose. It was heartening to witness the thoughtful questions from students who were curious not just about careers, but about contributing meaningfully to society.

Why This Matters – Inspiring the Changemaker Mindset

What stood out most was the energy – the kind that signals a shift. These young individuals weren’t just passive attendees; they were eager listeners and critical thinkers. At Make The Change, we believe that social innovation begins with empowerment.

Continuing the Movement

Events like this reaffirm our mission. They remind us that when youth are given knowledge, skills, and encouragement, they rise to the occasion. That’s why we remain committed to co-creating learning experiences that blend creativity, civic engagement, and real-world impact.

Whether it’s through workshops, mentoring, or collaborative projects, we’ll continue to champion youth-led change – because the future belongs to those who dare to imagine a better one, and act on it.

To all the students we met, thank you for your enthusiasm. To the AISEC organising committee, thank you for pulling it all together. Here’s to more meaningful collaborations ahead!
