✂️ Design Your Singapore Story Collage📸

What does an inclusive Singapore look like to you? This National Day, bring your favourite family photos and create a scrapbook page that tells your Singapore story.

The 2-hour session begins with a guided tour of Our Community Gallery, exploring the theme of "Me to We" – a reminder of how small, everyday acts of care can build a more cohesive and inclusive society. You’ll then create a scrapbook page responding to the question: How Do You Envision an Inclusive Singapore?

Enter your design into our competition for a shot at exclusive Our Community Gallery merchandise, and keep your creation as a cherished family memento! All materials provided. No experience needed. Just bring your heart, your photos, and your vision of Singapore. 💌
