Race and Ethnicity Awareness Programme (REAP)
|
Inter-ethnic understanding and appreciation of the diversity of the various races, languages, religions and cultures in multiracial and multi-religious Singapore are essential to building a harmonious school environment and a cohesive society as part of National Education.
As Singapore faces new global developments and the integration of new citizens in our society, schools can better prepare students as world-ready youths to deal with the new challenges as well as opportunities in their interaction with people from various nationalities and background.
OnePeople.sg, in partnership with Raffles Institute for Experiential Learning (RIEL), conducts the Race and Ethnicity Awareness Programme (REAP) for students and educators. The workshops adopt activity-based and discussion-based approach to introduce concepts and create understanding through exploration and experiential learning.
