More About 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.

Race and Ethnicity Awareness Programme (REAP)
Race and Ethnicity Awareness Programme (REAP) is a 2-day Workshop targeted at upper- and post- secondary students and educators to enhance multi-ethnic engagement and introduce approaches to multiculturalism and diversity education.
Conducted by trainers from Raffles Institute for Experiential Learning (RIEL), the workshops adopt an activity-based and discussion-based approach to introduce concepts and create understanding through exploration and experiential learning. Such activities will raise participants’ self awareness and engage them in open yet safe discussions on sensitive issues.
The REAP (Students) Workshop will enable youths to analyse their multi-dimensional identity, unpack common stereotypes and explore everyday racial and ethnic insensitivities. Through a 2-day workshop, participants of the REAP (Educators) Workshop will be able to understand key terminologies and concept, familiarise themselves with student-centred facilitation techniques and approaches to multicultural engagement as well as try out hands-on activities for values clarification, infusing multicultural education and crafting action plans.
