Happy Birthday Singapore! -
National Day Projects supported by MICA |
|
|
Singapore turns 40 this year and it is time
to celebrate! |
|
The Ministry of Information,
Communications and the Arts (MICA) is proud to support a series of
exciting projects organised by a host of organisations, such as the
Designers Association of Singapore, Phish Communications, the
Singapore Tyler Print Institute, Aljunied Town Council, North East
CDC, the Singapore Hotel Association and the Singapore Kindness
Movement, to commemorate the nation＊s 40th year of independence. |
|
The central theme, ＆Happy Birthday
Singapore＊, reflects the celebratory nature of these projects, which
will involve the use of arts, design and heritage to immerse
Singaporeans in the National Day celebrations. |
|
In addition to fostering a sense of
national pride, these projects will also profile the creativity and
artistic vibrancy of ordinary Singaporeans. |
|
The Happy Birthday Singapore projects,
in brief, are: |
-
Singapore Express 每 An innovative design education project
involving Primary 5 students from schools island-wide; designs
will decorate modes of transport and bus-stops during the National
Day period.
-
Heritage Walk: An Enchanting Evening 每 A series of specially
marked walks bringing us to heritage sites in the civic district.
At the evening launch in August, participants will get to relive
our nation＊s past, experience vanishing foodstuffs and toys of
yesteryear, engage in fun activities, and enjoy an outdoor
screening of movies at the carnival end point.
-
All Things Bright and Beautiful: Prints by Young Singaporeans
每 A printmaking project involving Primary 2 and 3 students,
one-of-a-kind prints and collectors＊ editions will be sold in aid
of children＊s charities.
-
Paint Singapore 每 A mural painting project in the heartlands,
students and residents team up to paint large murals for display
in their neighbourhoods.
-

party-cum-charity event for over 200 disadvantaged children and
care-givers, featuring 40 specially designed cakes donated by our
hotels in celebration of the nation＊s birthday.
