A Virtual Festival Fundraiser
Come celebrate creativity in
our everyday lives.
Everyday Creativity is about shifting the lens on how we view creativity in our lives. From free interactive activities, engaging workshops to insightful talks, for the young and the young at heart – there is something for everyone!
All experiences are free and by donation.
This virtual festival is also to fundraise for Playeum’s impact work in 2022. We hope to reach out and support more children, especially those from marginalised backgrounds, and also to empower more adults to be their creative facilitators.
Here are the 3 ways you can join us and be part of our Everyday Creativity Festival!

Online Talk via Zoom | 04 Dec 2021, 11:00AM - 12:30PM
Two teenage siblings who run their own startups and an unconventional dad. We bring together members of Singapore’s one-of-a-kind family who have encouraged their children to take the paths less travelled. For Dylan and Ava, what is it like growing up in a creative environment? What choices did Calvin make as a dad that gave his children voice and autonomy from a young age? Discover the family’s unorthodox take on how to raise a child, and how creativity is the new superpower that our young ones need in today’s world.
This programme includes a live Q&A towards the end of the session.
About the Speakers:
Despite being the youngest APAC President and Chief Creative Officer, and ranked No. 1 in Asia by Campaign Brief, Calvin left his illustrious advertising career behind to find a way to live a new life and reinvent himself. Now, he is dedicated to creating an ecosystem that champions one-of-a-kind ideas in the face of exponential change in today’s world.
He created One Kind House, a sustainable urban farming home in Singapore with soil and hydroponic farming built-in, and is the co-founder of One Kind Block, the world’s first LEGO-like hydroponic system designed to make cities greener and kinder. He advises various organisations such as ofnoah.com, BHuman, and Castlery, and has co-authored a children’s book The Big Red Dot with his teenage son.
Calvin is a full-time father to his son Dylan, daughter Ava and Jack Russell Pai Kia.
He gave his first TEDx talk in Singapore when he was 10. Now at the age of 17, Dylan has already succesfully funded a Kickstarter project (Grow-It-Yourself Stick), co-authored a children’s book with his dad, and scored an internship with internationally-known mobile game Angry Birds. After his O Levels in 2018, he enrolled in an international school in Finland. He is now back in Singapore to work on his second Kickstarter project The One Kind Block.
At the tender age of 13, Ava started her own jewellery collection under her brand Daughters of the Revolution in her cause to empower women and inspire them to “love themselves”. Within three days of its launch on Kickstarter, the collection was successfully funded by 200 percent. The 14-year-old is also a national figure skater and has no trouble waking up at 3.30am to go for her training.
