Brother Dominic shared on Young SMOU’s work in the recent years, highlighting efforts during the pandemic to help seafaring members tide through the difficult times. This include assistance ranging from financial support, alternative temporary employment, engagement with seafarers to understand concerns, training, and others.

He also shared on how SMOU in recent months has progressively returned to organising physical in-person activities as the situation of the pandemic has stabilised. Participants were inspired by the sharing of Singapore’s model of Tripartism, and how Young SMOU takes a holistic approach towards its members.

The conference ended on a positive note with Brother Dominic being nominated as a youth regional representative to the 2024 ITF Congress in Morocco.
