Understanding Global Issues through Ergo
1 November 2022
Ergo, our Global Issues Festival, explored identity through music, workshops and poetry.
Weish, local musician and dynamo, speaks to our Y5 students
On 10 November 2022, teachers, Y5 students and visitors from SOTA came together to enjoy Ergo, SJI’s annual Global Issues Festival organized by the English (IBAM) Department. The name “Ergo” indicates the interconnections between ideas that undergird our understanding of situations and issues in our complex and volatile world. This year’s theme of identity was met with interest and curiosity. Students were rapt at local musician Weish’s intimate (and tuneful) sharing of her struggles with her identity as an individual and artist, participated in the lively workshops put on by our Language and Literature teachers and guest speakers, cheered on their friends during the engaging poetry recital by the Literary Society and shivered or laughed in the after-dark literary experience.
