In response to "Have you spoken to your neighbours in the past week?"
Yes, I have. My dad is particularly friendly with our neighbours, so whenever we meet them on the way home or at the lift, we exchange pleasantries and engage in small talk. On special occasions such as Chinese New Year, the neighbours who do not celebrate CNY at home, also do make the effort to gift us with CNY goodies, and likewise we reciprocate accordingly as well.

The conversations are very fleeting - centred around greetings and the usual checking in questions. We hardly have deep conversations or have communal activities to know more about each other.

I don't really have friends in my neighbourhood say within a 1km radius. However, I have a couple of friends in my district that I can reach out too though it would be great if FRIENDZONE could define the depth of support it is trying to instill in the network.

I think in order to have deeper and more meaningful conversations, the groups need to be kept fairly small (maybe starting off with just 3 people) for a start. There would also need to be a series of sessions planned for the same group of people because it's unlikely friendships will be formed within 1 session. Perhaps after a few sessions of small group discussions with the same people, the group size can be increased (e.g. merge 2 groups), to widen the circle of friends. There must also be channels for people to feedback if they prefer not to stick to the same group if they feel uncomfortable/ cannot click with that group. Perhaps there can be a pre-session "screening" survey so individuals with complementary personalities can be grouped together.

There are many neighbourhood initiatives already in place, both from the social sector (Town Councils, Resident Councils programmes) and private sector (Scratchbac), how will your friendzone be a differentiator within this space?
Pang Shen
2021-01-23 11:07:40
think can have small group gathering of 8 people. to start small with building more friends.
Friendzone is just a platform but more opportunities for friends to gather and hang out despite covid-19.

Problem: Although the project name 'Friendzone' aims to create more friendships between young adults in neighbourhoods, it might be subjected to a negative tone related with 'failed courtship' and although the idea is to not use the project to date someone, the connotation to relationships might bring about a seedy repretoire towards the project.
Solution: Perhaps the name should be reworked to something that alligns with the goal of building a network of trusted peers to support each other through tough times. Something along the lines of BLOCK BUDDIES or NEXT DOOR PEER can help bring about friendlier suggestions to the project.

Personally, I feel that since the aim is to encourage peer support between youths and Singapore being relatively well connected across the island, this initiative should focus on grouping youths facing similar challenges rather than limiting it to neighbourhoods. Similar to how Alcohol Anonymous conducts their sessions, there is a need for participant’s privacy to be protected to allow for people to feel that they are in a safe place and being in the same neighbourhood might not benefit those who wish to remain more anonymous. It’s also important to take note when conversations are steering in a direction that is more harmful, as it might propel individuals to engage in behaviour that is less helpful to oneself or others. For example, on social media, youth who post content regarding extreme thoughts or behaviours regarding their declining mental health, may invoke similar behaviour patterns in others as they find themselves relating to each other’s challenges. Usually, trained professionals are required to be present to provide healthy support techniques and I still feel that many Singaporeans are unable to provide support for their own peers adequately. With that being said, I do hope that this initiative is a stepping stone to allow more Singaporeans to make the effort to learn healthy support tactics and to not shun away from a peer who is facing challenges, in fear of saying the wrong thing or feeling helpless. Thank you!

I believe youngsters may not have the motivation to join such groups, especially those who are more introverted/ those who are already so busy with school. They might just view this as 'another social group'. In addition, there are already many existing youth/young adult volunteers at community centers that act as platforms for young adults from the same neighborhood to establish connections so I do think that this project still lacks a unique selling point that would entice youngsters to join.
How I think the project can be improved:
- Broaden the target audience. Targeting families instead of just youngsters would make it easier to bring back the kampung spirit and establish rapport between people of similar ages.
- Find a convincing reason that would encourage youngsters to join such a project.
Nonetheless, I believe this is a really meaningful project. Keep up the good work :)

I think this is a really cool idea in terms of bringing young adults together to have meaningful conversations. However, I'm not sure about the usefulness of limiting it to your particular neighbourhood. Singapore is so small and in this day and age, we can easily connect to people who live wherever. I've seen the people who live around my condo, and not many of them are young adults like me. Most are older couples or families. I find other young adults through things like Lunchclub or Meetups or specific communities like Facebook and Telegram groups. I think that the basic premise of connecting young adults in this way to have deep conversations and build connections is great, but it shouldn't be limited to one's neighbourhood. A separate initiative to connect you to your neighbours might work (e.g. find the other people in your condo who like to play tennis or something, and they might be way older than you but you still have something in common) but this initiative should be open to people from anywhere. You might not find someone that you feel comfortable with and click well with that happens to be within your neighbourhood anyway, so why not broaden the opportunity to find people? The idea of having someone nearby is great, but how difficult is it to hop on public transport to meet up or do a video call to support a friend?

This is definitely an interesting project but I guess the main challenge would be to actually filter out where each neighbourhood resides in and which young adults belong to which neighbourhood and who are actually interested to be embedded in this project.

As a young person, I find it quite daunting to be gathering with neighbours of similar age to me in my neighbourhood, to talk about issues close to the heart, when we are otherwise strangers. It might be interesting to have a community project that recruits young people to do something together as a bonding activity, for example, coming together to design and paint a mural that represents the neighbourhood. Having friendly, community-serving youth leaders to spearhead these initiatives and nurture the bond amongst the young neighbours would be a great asset.

Every HDB Block should have a Car Boot Flea Market where residents can set up stuff that they declutter from their homes or stuff that they do not want/need in their Car Boot and sell it or exchange an item for another item with their neighbours. Those without cars could set up mini booths at the Void Decks and at the end of the day, if there is still stuff that residents could not sell or exchange it away, they should put it in a donation box (just like the Fridge campaign at Tampines HDB) so as to help those families in need or even the foreign workers as well. This in turn would strengthen the community and help those in need.

I appreciate the concept of building back the kampung spirit in a time where more people are reported to be lonely despite being more ‘connected’ digitally than ever before! Conversations will help to breka the ice, build trust and long-term relationships! :) i feel kinda paiseh that i dont know my neighbours ahaha
Here are some thoughts and queries:
One concern is whether just conversations would be sufficient to develop the capabilities of young adults to serve as peer supporters. For instance, in the university setting, I understand the peer support groups are trained in mental health first aid. One idea is that you could collaborate with existing youth peer support groups/organisations like campus psy/ Limitless/ CHAT /SAMH Creative SAY/etc!
A random idea is to share a kit of sorts and have a ‘franchise model’ where anyone can go through a short training/induction programme and attempt to start this in their own neighbourhood as a community gardener? ;p

The solution sounds interesting and plausible. However will the citizens have enough time to get involved in this. What would be their incentive and is it a string one to attract them?

Felt that this could be more practical and relevant for middle-age groups and above. Teenagers or young adults will prefer and can socialise outside of their neighbour easily, with the rise of social media and digital apps.

Instead of just having thematic conversations about difficult life challenges, perhaps it will be better to bond youths through activities like volunteering, or activities planning. Will be good to have an older "mentor" to steer the discussion and provide a far-sighted view of what to expect in life.

Thanks for coming up with an interesting initiative. Believe peers of the same age group can understand one another better
I think stakeholders like CCs can help organise activities for this to be made aware to the residents and help peer supporters and youths build a space of their own for a start. Assessment of needs and problems of the youths seeking support is also needed to better match them to supporters.

This sounds like an interesting initiative and I would personally be interested in meeting more people from my age group living around my area. Currently, there are some Facebook/Telegram groups related to neighbourhoods, but those are predominantly for homeowners or older adults. You may want to consider the following as some food for thought: The age bracket of 18-35 is actually quite wide, and experiences and interests of those still in school (e.g. 18-25) may vary quite significantly from those who have started working or are new parents. Would there be subgroups so that people can find others who have more in common with them? Also, in terms of the sustainability of this initiative, it may be good to collaborate with existing community groups. E.g. Do you forsee tying up with e.g. town councils to organise activities or events, or would you have neighbourhood leaders as 'volunteers' to drive participation and engagement?
Guest

I think this is a good initiative and most people would definitely want a lovely neighbourhood environment to return home to! But how would you differentiate this initiative from a regular meetup/ community building program? There are tons of programs out there where people can look to build like-minded friendships - how will you incorporate the mental health support aspect to this community building initiative? Will people be comfortable sharing their deep dark thoughts with strangers that just became friends?

I find it hard to befriend people as I grow older - as without common experiences in the past + the business of day to day living/ working, it is hard to grow deep friendships. So even after attending one friendzone event, how can I still keep in touch with these people?

This is a good concept, although given how technology has taken over and people may prefer anonymity, they may be uncomfortable with revealing where they live to distance themselves. There is a also need to protect these information for privacy purposes.
