For Schools

Aligned with the Singapore’s Ministry of Education’s (MOE) curriculums for Social Studies (SS), English-Lit, and Character & Citizenship Education (CCE).

Student or Staff Development programmes are also welcomed.

We adopt an inquiry-driven approach to understand complex social issues in Singapore.
The building blocks for our student programmes comprise:

Learn about the world outside one's classroom window

Students will be able to grapple with societal issues face-to-face, moving beyond theories and concepts

Provoke curiosity

Encouraging students to discover answers to their questions by dissecting assumptions and beliefs

Facilitated
reflection time

Through purposeful questions and guidance, we hope that the lessons they have learnt will translate from head to heart and eventually their hands

  • “The facilitator was knowledgeable and provided deeper insights. I was provoked to consider perspectives and unspoken issues that I was not aware of.

    – J1 Student, Eunoia Junior College –

  • “The interaction with Roni was the most heartfelt and insightful part of this LJ. Hearing from one of our fellow migrant workers face-to-face made me understand their struggles and dreams more deeply.”

    – Secondary 4 Student, Victoria School –

  • The in-school workshop went really well. The facilitators were engaging, prompting students to consider other perspectives and re-examine their pre-existing stereotypes.
