Dear Friends,
We have heard your feedback and will be taking The Leafmonkey Workshop into the field! Our next workshop will be on Ubin, about Ubin! Most of all, we will be compiling the ideas from this workshop and sending them to the Ubin Project team, recently announced by the government.
Spaces are limited so register early and tell your friends! (If you are bringing your family and friends, please bear in mind that you may be assigned to different groups)
We look forward to seeing you!
Warmest Regards,

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Pulau Ubin is close to the hearts of many nature lovers and volunteers in Singapore. In response to the upcoming ‘Ubin Project’ chaired by Minister of State Desmond Lee, we hope to contribute to the future plans of Pulau Ubin by offering our ideas and aspirations for the island through this workshop.
This halfday workshop will start with a working visit around Ubin, followed by lunch and brainstorming of ideas, all on Pulau Ubin itself. We hope to inspire more productive discussions and creative ideas through immersing ourselves in the sights, smells and tastes of Ubin! Discussions and ideas from the workshop will then be compiled and shared with the ‘Ubin Project’.
