Student Guide Training Programme (Indian Heritage Centre)

The Student Guide Training Programme is an initiative that seeks to encourage discovery and appreciation of Singapore’s Indian heritage in an engaging and interactive manner. Student Guides will have the opportunity to conduct tours of Indian Heritage Centre’s permanent and special exhibition galleries to guests, including Ministers on official visits, fellow students on learning trips, as well as members of the public. The programme is offered in English & Tamil.

Details

Students will be given a tour of selected artefacts in IHC's permanent galleries and provided with useful guiding tips by IHC's Docents. Students will then work on their scripts and submit them to the IHC team and docents for review. Students will then guide their peers in the galleries following a feedback session.
