The Office of Core Curriculum and the Wee Kim Wee Centre are proud to present the first virtual 5th Annual Wee Kim Wee Soka International Seminar on Global Peace and Understanding edition on 21 January 2021. This 1-day international seminar will feature three provocative frontiers of dialogue from scholars and public figures, who will discuss the intersections, opportunities, and challenges between the Global and the Local, the annual theme of the Core Curriculum's Big Questions course this year.

The 3 multidisciplinary panels will discuss and explore local collective memories and their influence on reconciliation and justice on the global stage, local responses and solutions to the global problem of climate change and the limits and possibilities of the emerging field of digital cultures. Through our dynamic local and international speakers, this edition will delve into the envisioned or re-imagined the world we want to live and thrive in locally and globally.
