NUS Youth Programme Future Series December 2025
Negotiation in a Global World for Young Leaders

We negotiate all the time; be it at the international, community or individual level. In many situations, we deal with differences where it involves an exchange of ideas, or talk to people about issues that affect all parties or come to an agreement while avoiding argument or dispute. Learning essential negotiation skills helps one build stronger relationships with others, improves understanding on the concerns of all parties in a conflict and enhances your communication skills.

This course is carefully structured centered on ways to help young leaders to respond to difficult negotiation situations in a constructive manner and equip participants with useful life skills. The course teaches the principles of negotiation but more importantly, it goes deeper to understand how biases shape our interaction and behavior. Throughout the course, participants will learn about assumptions about interpersonal relationships, communication styles and how to improve your noticing, listening and questioning skills. It comprises five role-play based 3 hours lessons and a quiz on negotiation concepts at the end of the course.

NUS Youth Programme Future Series December 2025
Introduction to AI and Generative AI in Healthcare

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer the technology of tomorrow—it is rapidly transforming the world we live in today, including how we diagnose diseases, deliver treatments, and design healthcare systems. From medical imaging to personalised medicine, AI is reshaping the future of public health in ways that are both exciting and complex. Understanding how these technologies work, and their impact on society, is essential for the next generation of changemakers.

This course is carefully structured to introduce young minds to the core concepts of AI and how they are applied in real-world healthcare settings. More than just learning about the technology, participants will explore how digital innovation intersects with ethics, medical practice, and social responsibility. Throughout the course, participants will examine topics such as machine learning, neural networks, and large language models through interactive lessons and real-life case studies, including the use of AI in cancer diagnostics. The course also includes opportunities for students to work in teams to discuss and present innovative ideas for using AI in healthcare. It comprises five 3-hour sessions, combining faculty-led seminars, collaborative learning, and a final group project to showcase creative thinking and application.
