Description of Programme
Interactive Adventure Trails
For units that are interested in achieving NE objectives while conducting team-building at the same time, the Interactive Adventure Trails are ideal programmes. These trails facilitate experiential learning of history by immersing the participant in a “thematic storyline”. Participants will have to work in teams and complete various tasks/missions along the way to achieve a common objective. What results from their participation is not just new knowledge provided by a guide, but a personal discovery of what it means to be Singaporean.
Programme Synopsis
As a time-traveller from the past, you have arrived in modern day Singapore with a sense of bewilderment and confusion. The landscape has changed so much from what you remember from 1939, and life seems much better than before. The dirty streets of Chinatown filled with vice and suffering has literally transformed into a pristine commercial district. Make your way around the streets of Kreta Ayer, Telok Ayer and Tanjong Pagar as you attempt to identify structures that seem frozen in time.
At the end of this tour, you will experience key landmarks in Chinatown through the lens of history, and through this, appreciate the efforts we have made as a nation to preserve our heritage.
