Do visit it to get a better idea of the form and manner of the event. *** SNF 2010*** The over-arching theme for SNF 2010 will be the socio-economic landscape of Singapore. This year, participants will include Singaporean undergraduates from not only the UK and Singapore, but also China and the US. Set against the backdrop of topics pertaining to the theme, the aim of this participant-composition is to explore the differences in views amongst Singaporean undergraduates who are immersed in different cultural and educational backgrounds.
