Presented in conjunction with Youth Day, Ocean Futures Youth Forum brings together a new generation of advocates, educators, and innovators to reimagine our relationship with the ocean. Building on the themes explored in Into the Ocean: Journey Beneath, this forum extends the conversation to consider how young voices can be active contributors to marine sustainability, spotlighting forms of youth advocacy that shift beyond awareness to agency.
Through a dynamic mix of talks and open dialogue, Ocean Futures foregrounds how youth-led initiatives are responding to urgent challenges facing marine ecosystems, from biodiversity loss to marine pollution. Across presentations, the forum moves between multidisciplinary approaches of engineering technology, wildlife conservation and urban planning to examine alternative methods of care and advocacy. Situated in Singapore and connected to wider regional contexts, this programme highlights how local action can resonate at a global scale.
As part of ArtScience Museum’s Future Voices strand, this forum positions young people as co-authors of the museum’s evolving practice, inviting participants to engage with new frameworks of stewardship, collaboration and responsibility. Ocean Futures will feature youth advocates and community leaders from Kaia Initiative, LepakInSG, NTU Mecatron, and NUS Toddycats!, each bringing distinct perspectives on environmental action and engagement.
