Innovation and creative approaches to engage more youths to participate in grassroots activities. That was the challenge posed by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong to the Indian Activity Executive Committees (IAECs) during the Narpani Convention 2011 held on 17 July at the Raffles Convention Centre.

This year’s Narpani Convention was special to the IAECs as the event served as a platform for the IAEC Council, commonly known as Narpani Pearavai, to launch the celebrations for IAECs’ 35th Anniversary.

PA partners organisations to promote community bonding

22 July 2011 1 comments

Working with grassroots organisations (GROs) and community and corporate partners to build and bridge communities has always been PA’s strategy. Working closely with our GROs and partners also help to ensure that residents in the various constituencies and across districts benefit from our wide-range of programmes from social assistance schemes to lifelong learning.

The Singapore Kite Association is one such partner who worked closely with the Punggol Meridien RC to organise the Punggol North Kite Day which aimed to foster community bonds between residents and kite flying enthusiasts. The partnership between Punggol North GROs and the Singapore Kite Association made what was initially a small-scale event into a signature international kite flying event which saw the participation of both local and international kite flying enthusiasts. As kite flying is an activity that could be enjoyed by residents of all ages, this event which succeeded in attracting over 4,700 youths and their families helped promote inter-generational bonding and strengthened family ties.
