What would be really powerful will be hearing the stories directly from the survivors, and interacting with the survivors. I feel that it is really something very precious to hear their story personal story in their own words. It makes a lasting impression to hear from first-hand accounts.

Storytelling and experiencing it will mean so much more than just showing. The underserved population will probably not have any intention of visiting museums and festivals as these serve no meaning to them. If stories could be shared with them at young age, they will show more interest in public activities and festivals!
Also, food is the key to Singaporeans’ tummies! It always work.

Introduce career opportunities for more archaeologists and heritage workers and include discussions on Singapore’s identity through education and information. Have events and activities that utilises old places and museums, combine VR technology to educate the public on the developments of the area. Also create a human volunteer bank based on the community to increase manpower for festivals and events.
