WeSearch! is an independent youth research initiative that aims to connect youths interested in practical, action-oriented community research with civil society organizations requiring research for education and advocacy efforts.
This is done primarily through consolidating the excellent socially-relevant research that has been done by students in local tertiary institutions over the years and, more importantly, through raising awareness amongst the student body about research needs within the local community.
WeSearch! is motivated by the desire to provide an open platform for students in tertiary institutions and beyond to engage in meaningful and practical research, providing them the opportunity to hone their research skills, gain a better appreciation of the scope of applied social research, and encourage direct involvement in the local community.
We aim to launch WeSearch! in 2010 with the theme “Social Action Across Divides”, with a focus on forms of social action and community service that bridge the real and artificial divides between different demographic and social groups in Singapore.
