Back to the Future
We are all familiar with stories of how our forefathers came to Singapore and transformed this former small fishing village into the modern country that we are now. Similarly, we see an influx of new citizens coming to seek a brighter future here in Singapore. They bring with them their skills, knowledge and culture, ready to propel Singapore forward and to stay competitive in this globalised world.
Students will go through a holistic experience of discovering how every citizen plays a part in contributing to Singapore’s unique culture. They will also see how citizens from every walk of life unite to live, work and celebrate together as a nation at the National Day Parade. With this knowledge, they will be able to better appreciate and embrace this diversity and work towards greater mutual respect and understanding of the people around them.
We hope you have had a good learning experience at S’pore Discovery Centre
