Faculty of the Department of International Studies attended the 2022 International Conference on Cohesive Societies (ICCS) in Singapore

Faculty of the Department of International Studies of Miriam College, namely, Lorna Q. Israel, Pacita Fortin, Dr. Nassef Adiong, and Kebart Licayan participated in the 2022 International Conference on Cohesive Societies (ICCS) from September 6-8, 2022 at the Raffles City Convention Centre in Singapore.

 

The ICCS is the preeminent event for interfaith and multicultural dialogue organized by the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies and supported by the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth. The theme for this year’s gathering was “Confident Identities, Connected Communities.”  Invited speakers covered aspects of multiple identities, faith and religion, youth leadership, an increasingly digitalized world and how they leverage social cohesion, bridge divide, and foster mutual trust.  

 

Singapore’s President Mdm Halimah Yacob reiterated in her opening address the importance of trust in fostering social cohesion because “a society cannot be proud if its people distrust each other.” Meanwhile, Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister Edwin Wong emphasized in his closing address the need for a “deliberate and consistent effort to understand and accommodate each other” to realize social cohesion.
