SESSION DETAILS
Date: 18 Sep 2026, Fri
Time: 7PM–9:30PM
Price: $35 (incl. GST)
Collaborators: City Sprouts & Ground-Up Initiative
Location: Common Ground Civic Centre, 21 Bedok North Street 1 Singapore 469659
ABOUT THE SESSION
CITY SPROUTS and GROUND-UP INITIATIVE (GUI) both care deeply about sustainability – and they've built very different homes for it. City Sprouts turns underused urban spaces into green community hubs. GUI runs Kampung Kampus, a community-built space for people to reconnect with the Earth, each other, and themselves.
Both believe change happens when people come together, and that starts with having the space to do so. But building that space is one thing. Resourcing it, year after year, without losing sight of why it started, is another.
In this Circle, we hear from the practitioners leading each space – Simone Lim, co-founder of City Sprouts, and Bingyu Cai, GUI's Kampung Architect – on what it's taken to start and sustain their work, and the different pressures each has faced along the way. We'll also sit with the tension behind this Circle's title, Money and Mission, and explore what it takes to resource a space without losing sight of why it started.
TICKETING INFO
Early bird pricingFrom 21 Aug – 4 Sep, this Circle is $22 (incl. GST), instead of the usual $35 (incl. GST). A small thank you for registering early.
A note on pricingWe've priced each Circle at $35 (incl. GST). This helps to cover the costs to keep the session running smoothly — the materials, refreshments, and a small token of appreciation for the practitioners who open up their spaces and their work for this conversation.We think that's worth it, and we hope you do too. But we also believe in accessibility. If the price is a barrier, email us at civiccentre@ourcommonground.com.sg to explore other options.
Group purchases and organisation invoicesFor group purchases (>3 pax) or if you need an invoice to claim this from your organisation, email us at civiccentre@ourcommonground.com.sg.
