Mental Health Literacy has increasingly become more and more important in our daily life, especially at our workplace. Its significance as an empowerment tool helps us better understand about ourselves and others.

Speaker Profile:
Ms Ping (KB, PA) is a registered counsellor with the Malaysian Board of Counsellors. She is a PhD candidate who is well-versed in the topic of mental health literacy and its impact on humans' well-being. She enjoys the process of empowering people so they may walk out from the counselling sessions lighter, freer, and more excited to continue their personal life journey.

Global Ireland: Social, Cultural and Musical Imaginaries
It is possible to come to know a social, cultural and political history of Ireland through the lens of music. From origin myths and archaeological evidence; through the medieval times of saints and scholars; the extended period of conquest and colonisation; the devastating Great Famine in the mid-19th century; decades of outward migration; the establishment of the Free State and Republic in the 20th century; the rise and fall of the Celtic Tige with new inward migration; the 21st century of shifting populations and traditions; all of these things have been captured in music. Invoking ‘imaginaries’ in the sociological sense, to convey beliefs, values, social practices and institutions, this presentation explores key musical texts (written, sounded, performed) in social, cultural and political context, to illustrate the centrality of music in the story of Ireland over many centuries. From early bardic harp to contemporary hip-hop, Ireland’s rich musical traditions reveal the global flow of people and ideas, outward and inward, that have come to shape the nation.
