Racial harmony is fundamental to our nation's continued success and this is one of the key missions of People's Association (PA). With its wide outreach, the PA, together with its network of grassroots organisations and five Community Development Councils (CDCs), organises a variety of programmes to promote and enhance understanding, respect, mutual support and interaction among residents of different backgrounds.
Partners in Harmony
The Partners in Harmony programme offers PA staff and grassroots leader an appreciation of Singapore 's multi-cultural heritage and diversity. Here, they learn about the traditions, customs, beliefs and practices of major racial and religious groups. Through this shared experience, PA staff and grassroots leaders are primed to serve the community better.
