A warm welcome to the Lion City! Check into the accommodation that will be your home away from home for the next two weeks. Your adventure has just begun!
For the next 2 weeks, you will have a combination of classroom sessions, group interactive activities, and excursions to local attractions.

In the afternoon, a tour guide will give you your first introduction to Singapore's city centre. From the historical Civic District to the towering buildings in Shenton Way, the city is abuzz with activity as everyone goes about their business.
Take a leisurely boat cruise around the harbour and learn about the historical lifeline of the Singapore River.

It's games on the beach in the morning.
In the afternoon, return to the main island and spend some time at the Singapore Discovery Centre. Find out about some of the key developments of Singapore as a nation state. Use your worksheets as you move around the various exhibits. Have some fun - watch a 3-D movie and enjoy a simulator ride.
