PROGRAMMES

The Speaker Series by OnePeople.sg is a platform to discuss racial and religious issues within a safe space. There are issues which may have a profound impact on the ground and our diverse community. For the upcoming session, participants will visit the Resource and Counselling Centre of the Religious Rehabilitation Group (RRG). With the ISIS threat extending its reach across the globe into Southeast Asia, Singapore and her neighbours now face several interrelated threats, including terrorist attacks and the radicalization. How has this affected our security, and what have we done to combat terrorism? The visit will include a dialogue on the threats of terrorism and how it impacts social cohesion. Participants will get to have a dialogue with a key member of RRG where participants will better understand the work that they do and the resources available.

About 40 participants attended an Iftar, better known as the breaking of fast, on 19 June 2016 at Ahmad Mosque. Coordinated by Telok Blangah IRCC, the Iftar session brought together community leaders and residents from different ethnic and religious background to bring about deeper understanding of Islam and obligation of fasting amongst Muslims.

The Media Appreciation course will provide IRCC members with an overview of basic media handling techniques. These techniques will be useful to spokespersons who have been assigned to talk to the media. At the end of the seminar, participants can expect to demonstrate the skills outlined in the workshop and be poised to deliver their messages with flair and confidence.
