What is your Singapore Memory?

Event: E1803 Category: Exhibitions & Conference

Do you remember the games that you used to play during your childhood days? Did you grow up playing chapteh or five stones with your friends or did you belong to the generation that played portable electronic games like tetris/brick game? Are you starting to notice the sights that are beginning to disappear in Singapore and reminisce the days when your family used to enjoy a family outing at Elizabeth Walk to dine at the famous Satay Club? Does your granny often tell you stories of the adversities that they faced during the war time and the days when tapioca was a staple food?

event description

Do you already know or have heard of such stories and would like to do your part in preserving such memories for our future generation? As part of the Singapore Memory Project*, we invite you to join us as we nurture you as memory agents – story writers of history, based on real life stories and adventures! For a start, you don’t need to be a writer. You won’t be writing essay long stories. Let us teach you the proper writing techniques and ways to source for your own incredible stories. All you need is a genuine interest in people and Singapore’s future in the making!

Suitable for 16 years old and above.

Please email your interest to Nurulhuda_SUBAHAN@nlb.gov.sg with the subject header: “Memory Agents” before 23 June. Do include your personal details including:

• Full Name
• Contact Details (Email Address and Mobile Number)
• Indicate if you’re a student or a working adult interested to contribute to the preservation of Singapore memories
• Indicate preferred Session: 26 June or 3 July

* The Singapore Memory Project (SMP) is a whole-of-nation collaborative initiative facilitated by the National Library Board to build a national digital collection of knowledge assets about Singapore so as to ensure that the Singapore story is continuously discovered, collected, preserved and promoted.
