Most educational
programmes will start with a talk at school. The talk would be delivered
by a senior facilitator and introduces the topic of the program as
well as provide the necessary background. Maps, pictures and photographs
help students to visualise concepts and prime them for the rest of
the tour later. |
| This is usually followed by a
museum visit. The museums we visit are the Changi Museum, the Singapore
Philatelic Museum and the Asian Civilisations Museum. We also take
the students to interpretative centres, such as, Reflections at Bukit
Chandu, Civil Defence Heritage Gallery, Battle Box and the URA Gallery.
The students will be taken on a guided tour through relevant areas
of the museum, and have the exhibits explained to them. |

The students will visit historic
sites, and guides will help them to understand the elements they discover.
Our guides are trained not to tell but to allow, through giving
information and leading questions, the students to make discoveries
about the site themselves. In this way, the students will digest and
retain the information much better. |
| Most of our tours
also include highly interactive elements that most students have never
had the opportunity to try before. Students are encouraged to volunteer
to try out chinese opera under the guidance of our experienced artistes,
be taught simple silat moves, have a henna tattoo drawn on them or
even participate in a memorial ceremony for those who sacrificed their
lives in WWII. |
