🎥 Youth Voices, Global Goals: A Street-Level Perspective from Singapore
We are delighted to share a special video produced by a remarkable group of students from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore, under the veNTUre initiative. This engaging street interview project captures candid insights from Singaporean youth on their awareness, understanding, and reflections surrounding the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
At a time when global challenges require collective effort and local action, the voices of young people offer clarity, creativity, and an unfiltered sense of urgency. This video highlights how Singapore’s youth are not only aware of pressing social and environmental issues—but are also actively thinking about solutions, equity, and the future they want to shape.
We extend our sincere thanks to the student team for initiating this youth-led dialogue and using storytelling as a bridge between aspiration and action. Your work adds vital perspective to the ongoing global conversation on sustainable development, and affirms the role of the next generation as catalysts for meaningful change.
📽️ Watch the full video to hear the honest and hopeful voices of Singaporean youth as they respond to the world’s most urgent goals.

00:10Toad bags.
00:12No clue.
00:14I always try to not use reusable, like disposable cutlery.
00:19I always use my own cutlery.
00:21When we're grocery shopping, we just take our reusable bags instead of plastic bags.

00:34In my daily life.
00:36Once a month.
00:38Once a week, you know.
00:40So do you know what the Sustainable Development Goals are?
00:44No, not really.
00:46People who go for sustainable development.
00:48People who care about the environment.
00:51Yes, I know what SDGs are.

01:45Without sustainability, the world's gonna perish.
01:48Like, especially for Singapore, we're a very small country.
01:51So it's good that we are self-sustainable and we don't depend on other countries too much.
01:56So it's really fresh.
