Student from Ngee Ann Secondary School

School Programmes

"Students described the workshop as fun, engaging, and eye-opening, especially enjoying the hands-on hydroponics activity and urban planning simulation. These activities helped them understand how sustainability and land use decisions are made, while encouraging teamwork, creativity, and real-world thinking. Many shared that the experience deepened their interest in urban planning, sustainable farming, and Singapore’s future development. Most said they would recommend the workshop to their juniors, as it made Geography come alive beyond the classroom."

Teacher From Bartley Secondary School

School Programmes

"The workshop was a valuable and engaging experience for our students at Damai Secondary School. It deepened their understanding of sustainable land-use planning and sharpened their e21cc skills in empathy and critical thinking as they designed their proposed towns. The hands-on urban farming activity further inspired eco-stewardship and helped students see their role in caring for the environment. Many left feeling energized to think more deeply about land-use decisions in Singapore and how they can contribute to a more sustainable future for Singapore."
