Programme Learning Objectives

This programme takes the participants on a journey to explore Singapore’s past and present relationship with our waterways, discover the historical significance of the area while learning about how litter accumulates in the water and a better idea to keep our environment clean, safe and sustainable for everyone to enjoy.

During the programme, participants will also see for themselves the thriving biodiversity of these waters, including (but not limited to) the resident otters or any wildlife. The programme ends with a reflection session on what we can do to help protect our precious water resources.
