The RCLF for youth, which will run
concurrently with the educators’ conference, is
an example of curriculum-community innovation. Targeted
at young community leaders from the region, this annual
forum provides the platform for youth to discuss social
issues of both local and/or regional importance, and
explore possible avenues for positive action.
The forum will provide opportunities
for youths to engage with like-minded counterparts from
the region. It will also serve as a springboard for
sustainable social projects to be implemented in Singapore
and the region.
• Students from Junior Colleges,
Polytechnics, Institutes of Technical
Education and Universities
• Youth Leaders from ASEAN region & other
countries
Information in social programme and
sign ups will be made available soon.
