SPOT Students Participate in Human Library Session on Inclusive Leadership

Programming example

On 9 March 2026, our SPOT students participated in a Human Library Session. Through small-group conversations with Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), the session provided a meaningful opportunity for our students to develop empathy, active listening skills, and gain a deeper understanding of inclusive leadership.Our students were given the opportunity to learn directly from individuals with lived experiences of visual impairment, mobility disability, and autism spectrum conditions.Through facilitated sharing and experiential activities, students gained insight into everyday challenges through interacting and chit-chatting with the PWDs. They also learnt how to provide appropriate and practical support to PWDs.The session encouraged our students to reflect on how language can shape inclusivity by using respectful, person-first phrasing that recognizes individuals beyond their conditions and affirms dignity. This experience reminded our SPOT students that inclusive leadership begins with humility, thoughtful communication, and a willingness to understand perspectives different from their own.We would like to express our sincere appreciation to All Hearts, for facilitating and creating a safe and meaningful platform for dialogue and deeper understanding. Thank you to the Human Libraries for generously sharing your experiences and inspiring our students to become more compassionate and mindful leaders.
