Total Defence Guided Walk
Our Six Pillars of Defence

Description of Programme

Guided Walks

Beyond captivating storylines, our tour will deliver content through the use of visual aids such as photos, videos and maps, bringing the narrative to life. Participants will be engaged in two-way interaction with their guides through quizzes and experiential activities (e.g. traditional games, food sampling, etc). These immersive programmes are designed to deepen your understanding and appreciation of our National Education (NE) messages, making each walk both educational and unforgettable.

Tour Synopsis

The threats facing any nation in the world today can come in various forms. For a well-connected city-state like Singapore with limited depth and resources, the vulnerabilities to both physical and non-physical attacks are even greater. While the country’s foundation of Total Defence is well-defined and established, it is the understanding of this concept by the people that is key to the survival of Singapore during a crisis.

Military, Civil, Economic, Social, Psychological and Digital Defence. Explore new ways to approach these principals and refresh your memory on why they are so crucial to our island-home. This Total Defence Walk aims to explore the 6 pillars of defence within the city, and reinforce the ideas behind each pillar in a fun and engaging way.
