This month, Me2 Centre of Inclusive Arts had the honour of running our Speak Up with Me2 programme with the Muscular Dystrophy Association (Singapore). Designed for youths whose voices are often overshadowed, not by ability, but by the pace and assumptions of the world. This programme creates a safe, empowering space for them to be heard.
Across four uplifting sessions, participants learned how to introduce themselves confidently, hold conversations, express preferences, and advocate for their needs. Through simple frameworks, gentle practice, and supportive group activities, many grew more willing to speak up, take turns, and share their thoughts independently.
We witnessed powerful moments: soft voices becoming steadier, shy participants contributing more freely, and young people realising that their perspectives carry weight. The heart of this programme is not perfect speech, but dignity, ownership, and belief in one’s own voice.
We are deeply proud of every participant and grateful to MDAS for partnering with us to champion self-expression and confidence in their community. At Me2, we remain committed to creating spaces where every voice especially those too easily unheard can rise and be celebrated.
If your organisation is keen to collaborate or bring Speak Up with Me2 to your community, we warmly welcome you to reach out.
