2 The programme aims to cultivate our youths to be champions of environmental public health issues by offering a volunteering avenue that allows them to learn, share, network and contribute to the creation of a clean and green Central Singapore district.
3 There are two focus areas in the programme that seeks to groom and engage the youth volunteers - Learning & Sharing and Contributing to a Clean & Green Central Singapore district.
The Programme
I. Learning and Sharing
This segment of the programme aims to increase awareness of issues relating to public health through:
• Training workshop
The students will undergo a training session to equip them with background knowledge on public health issues such as littering, dengue, pests, climate change & recycling.
• Forum
A Forum will be scheduled after the training workshop. The YEGs will need to or present a summary report on their community engagement experiences to share with the other school’s YEGs. Briefly, the report would include:
a) Topic of their project(s)
b) Community partners they partnered with
c) Outreach efforts - numbers of households engaged, key messages that were passed on to the community etc
d) Learning points - what have they learnt during the community engagement process
