Mindshift, an event similar to TED Talks, is designed to inspire and engage the student community at Dasein Academy of Art. This platform provides final year students with the opportunity to present their research on real-world issues that are the focus of their final year exhibition. Through Mindshift, students share compelling stories, insights, and knowledge, shedding light on overlooked facts and topics that typically escape attention. The goal is to shift perspectives and broaden the understanding of important global and local issues.
Centred around the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Mindshift encourages students to delve into themes that address pressing societal challenges. Beyond just presenting their research, students elevate their presentation skills to the next level by learning how to become storytellers. This experience equips them to convey their information in a way that captivates, informs, and engages their audience, enhancing their ability to communicate effectively.
The first Mindshift event, titled “Little Droplets, Big Waves,” featured two compelling student presentations focused on environmental issues.
The first student (Loh Wai Xin) discussed how global warming leads to the overpopulation of jellyfish, highlighting the ecological disturbances this causes and the broader implications for marine ecosystems.
The second student (Lau Chewvy) shed light on the issue of cigarette butt littering, illustrating how discarded cigarette waste, no matter where it starts, can eventually find its way into the ocean, polluting waters and endangering marine life.
These thought-provoking talks embodied the spirit of Mindshift, inspiring the student community to deepen their awareness and take positive action towards environmental sustainability. This event is not just a showcase of individual projects but a collective effort to share valuable knowledge and foster critical thinking among peers. By attending Mindshift, the student community is exposed to thought-provoking discussions that inspire deeper learning and spark meaningful conversations.
