One cannot imagine the consequences of food security and urban poverty in Singapore. Some people are scrambling for resources to survive a day or even living with no income at all. As a socially-aware person, your goal should be informing people about this harsh reality.
Why? Ignorance is not something to glorify. Here's how you can do a favour to the vulnerable groups in the community by building awareness.
TIP #1: FORMULATE YOUR CAMPAIGN
The first step is planning. Ask yourself, do you want to talk about the effects of urban poverty? Or the statistics in Singapore and the poverty line? Whatever your advocacy is, make sure you finalise one before engaging in your action plan. It helps you formulate the correct channels and materials to use.
TIP #2: ESTABLISH A PLATFORM
The internet is accessible to everyone. Why not put it to good use by establishing a platform to talk about the pressing issue of food security and urban poverty in Singapore? You can create a social media page or make a website that shows your entire campaign. (Tip: make it engaging to the audience without too many details.)
TIP #3: CREATE MATERIALS
After finalising the online platform or channel, create materials based on your goals and objectives. For example, if your focus is the statistics on food security in Singapore, create infographics that everyone can understand. It would help you get across the message without confusing people.
TIP #4: ENGAGE WITH YOUR AUDIENCE
While you may be an expert in urban poverty and food security in Singapore, your audiences might know something you do not. Open your mind to new ideas because everything counts. One way of doing this is by creating a platform where your audience can engage in a healthy discussion.
