Extra•Ordinary Conversations: Co-Solutioning for an Inclusive Society

Extra•Ordinary Conversations is a series of dialogues that aims to provide a platform for discussion and catalysis of partnerships towards inclusion of marginalised communities. The inaugural seminar took place virtually on Friday, 14 May 2021, with the theme “Co-solutioning for an Inclusive Society”. Mr Eric Chua, Parliamentary Secretary for Social and Family Development, graced the event as Guest-of-Honour, while a distinguished panel of speakers contributed insightful thoughts towards the topic.

The event also debuted “SpotOn Inclusive”, a smart thermal imaging system, and “Litehaus”, an integrated visitor management solution. These solutions, developed and brought to market by multi-sector partners including the Government Technology Agency (GovTech), Embrio Enterprises Pte Ltd and Extra•Ordinary People, aim to build partnerships and foster a more inclusive society.

The modular assembly of “SpotOn Inclusive” and “Litehaus” has created work opportunities for persons with special needs as well as low-income persons. In a typical round of assembly, the “SpotOn Inclusive” device is put together by clients of MINDS Idea Employment Development Centre, before being built into “Litehaus” units by low-income persons identified by ground partners.

During the event, Extra•Ordinary People committed to donating one “Litehaus” visitor management system to all 19 Special Education (SPED) schools in Singapore.
