A simple greeting can turn a frown upside down. However, many people in Singapore do not seem to initiate greetings. “In a moment”, encourages the young adults in Singapore to take the first step in initiating greetings to others. Drawing close connection to daily tasks (such as pouring water into a cup), this project aims to inform and remind people that greetings are simple, easy and quick to initiate. Through offline and online social outreach, “In a moment”, leverages the use of sticker packets to engage with young adults in Singapore, to take a break from their screens for a second or two and realise that this simple act of kindness can be performed within seconds and at almost anywhere. There is no need for complicated tasks and details because greetings are meant to be simple yet meaningful just as this project aims to be. In two seconds, you can greet someone. In a moment, you can brighten someone’s day.
