PEOPLE CONVERSATIONS REAL CHANGE
About Us
We create spaces for meaningfull dialogue and experiential learning that help people, communities and organisations grow
OUR PURPOSE
A belief in the power of people
At Ithaca, we believe in the power of people - in our curiosity, our capacity for understanding, and our ability to create positive change when we truly listen to one another.
We design and facilitate experiential learning experiences that bring people together, open up meaningful conversations and build the skills, confidence and understanding needed to navigate a complex world.
OUR STORY
A journey shaped
by people and possibilities
Ithaca was founded on the belief that meaningful conversations can lead to a more inclusive, empathetic and connected world.
Our journey began with a simple idea - that when people come together with curiosity, openness and respect, different perspectives can be understood, relationships, can be strengthened and real, positive change can happen.
Drawing on experience in education, community engagement and cross-cultural dialogue, we have worked with individuals, organisations and communities across Singapore and the region to create learning experiences that are relevant, practical and transformative.
