Designed for Youth Corps Singapore
​
Common Ground is a customised expansion of Smol Tok specially designed for Youth Corps Singapore to help its volunteers carry out ground-up initiatives, and learn by leading in self-organising teams.
​
42 cards serve as verbal cues to ground and guide volunteers at different stages of their journey.
THE PURPOSE
​
-
Grow in empathy towards less fortunate members of society
-
Collaborate on and carry out ground-up initiatives in self-organising teams
-

-
Diagnosing Needs
-
Designing an Initiative
