DREAMS on the Global Stage: Presentations Across 4 Continents (2025)
This year, the DREAMS team has been actively sharing our research with international communities across Asia, Europe, Oceania and the United States. This range of presentations reflects the breadth of our work. From exploring adolescent friendships to examining career readiness and socio-emotional growth, our investigators have brought insights from Singapore’s youth to the global stage. Our team values the opportunities to share these insights while engaging in global conversations on adolescent development.
Here’s a look at where DREAMS has been featured so far this year:
Principals & School Leaders Sharing 2025
On 26 August 2025, we welcomed over 100 attendees from our DREAMS partner schools, along with MOE representatives and the DREAMS research team, for an engaging afternoon of sharing and discussion on the project’s latest findings.
The session began with Prof Kenneth Poon, Lead Principal Investigator (PI) of DREAMS, who shared broad insights from our study
DREAMS @ The Redesigning Pedagogy International Conference (RPIC)
Our research team will be presenting at the Redesigning Pedagogy International Conference (RPIC) on 29 and 30 May. If you are attending the conference, we hope you can join us as we share more about our Year 1 findings.
Understanding Child Outcomes from Early to Middle Childhood
The Singapore Kindergarten Impact Project (SKIP) was initiated in 2014 with the aim of studying child development across the pre-school years. The early childhood period is a crucial time in a child’s development as it lays the foundation for later outcomes such as academic performance and well-being. What occurs when the child enters middle childhood? To provide a holistic view of child outcomes across the early and middle childhood years, a follow-up study, “SKIP-Up”, for short, has been mounted. Dr Fannie Khng Kiat Hui, Senior Education Research Scientist with the Centre for Research in Child Development at NIE, tells us more about this project.
