An abundance of technology has led to a scarcity of human interactions and interconnectedness, hasn't it?
Technology keeps us connected, but real community grows when people come together.
At aikyam space, we host community-driven activities that create opportunities to meet new people, share ideas, learn together, and build meaningful connections. From workshops and conversations to creative gatherings and special events, there's something for everyone.
Explore this month's calendar and see what's happening at the space. We hope to see you here!

July Rewind
July was a month of building stronger foundations at aikyam Space. We launched the Reading Club and Curiosity Club, while continuing regular stitching, dance, and community programmes. The stitching team moved to a larger workspace and began developing new products for the market. We also improved the space through the kitchen garden and a new mural inspired by the sea and dance. Every activity this month brought new learning, collaboration, and small steps towards building a stronger community.
August 1
Due to heavy rainfall, all activities at aikyam Space were paused for the day to ensure the safety of community members, children, and staff. While the sessions could not take place as planned, the break reminded us of the importance of putting safety first during extreme weather conditions.
