The session is jointly presented with our steward, Women Devs SG. It reflects OGP’s broader mission to create more inclusive models of citizen participation, ensuring that diverse voices are involved not only in public policy discussions, but also in designing the technologies that power public good. ### **Human Library Learning Circles** To deepen the conversation, OGP and WDS will host Human Library-style learning circles, where women leaders and civic builders share their insights and lived experiences on how they: * build technology for public good * participate in civic innovation * shape inclusive digital systems ✨ **About Open Government Products (OGP)** OGP is an experimental sandbox unit of the Singapore Government that builds tech for public good.

So this month's prompt is more general. I think we can all agree that we are living in "unique" times that require coping skills. I think that one role and/or purpose of philosophy is to help us deal with our daily lives and our "unique" times. So, let's share our feelings and thoughts about which philosopher/philosophy we turn to in order to deal with our crazy events. Who/what helps you stay focused in your daily life and helps you sleep at night. I find that Stoicism with a little philosophical pessimism mixed in goes a long way in helping me deal with what I see as very destructive, fearful and mean spirited public policies at both the state and federal levels. Hope to see you on March 28th!
