Description of Programme
Guided Walking Tour
Apart from an intriguing storyline for each tour, our guides deliver content through the use of visual aids such as photos, videos and maps. Participants will be engaged in two-way interaction with our guides through quizzes and experiential activities (e.g. hands-on cultural activities, food sampling) to reinforce their understanding and learning of NE messages.
Civic District
From a fishing village to a modern metropolis, the development of Singapore is an impressive story, best told through historical landmarks that stand frozen in time around the Civic District. Their walls tell stories of triumph, turmoil, tenacity, and timeless lessons that we can learn from.
