The Singapore 2010 CAN! Story A team of passionate youths coming from the four universities in Singapore was eager to get more out of life. These young people stepped forward to take action for something extraordinary – the Singapore 2010 – and CAN! was born.
They organised the very first CAN! event, in conjunction with the launch of the Singapore 2010 Spirit of Youth logo, on 10 January 2009 at SMU Campus Green. More than 3,000 people took part in a 2010-metre run, sports try-outs and a youth concert. Their enthusiasm also generated buzz and energy for the Singapore 2010 logo launch celebration.
