Stuck in our respective homes, we didn’t have to dig deep for a theme this year. As ConQuest 2020 goes digital, our quizmaster acclimatises to life in isolation. Using those extra hours in between video calls and hand washing to revisit some important fundamentals.

When talking about the Constitution, one tends to think of the State and its obligations. But this year started with ordinary citizens questioning citizenship laws and what constitutional values mean to them. The lockdown saw civil society take on constitutional functions like social welfare, and even proved to be more effective than the state. Our theme for 2020 though lighthearted on the surface references this new reality. Can a citizen in isolation continue to engage with the constitution and the community.
