\n\t\tCyber Hawker Centre\n\t<\/h1>\n\t

Cyber Hawker Centre aims to preserve and promote Singapore’s hawker culture as an intangible cultural heritage in a virtual setting. By leveraging the power of the metaverse, this project aims to create an immersive digital environment where global audiences can experience the vibrancy, flavors, and community spirit of hawker centers, without the need to physically be in Singapore. By showcasing the rich history and culinary diversity of hawker culture, the gallery will serve as an educational platform for locals, foreigners and virtual travellers, while also providing a channel to increase appreciation towards local hawker businesses, which face increasing challenges in the modern economy.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tClick Here\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"Screenshot\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n

\n\t\tWomen in colonial Singapore: Insights from Shopping News\n\t<\/h1>\n\tCollection:<\/strong> Shopping News
\nStudents: <\/strong>Yubei, Wenxin, Zoe, Crystal\n

Shopping News is a special collection that ran from 1938 to 1941 in colonial Singapore. Digitised by NUS Libraries, the collection provides a glimpse into the roles, stereotypes and perspectives for women living during that time. As a digital collection however, it can be daunting to go through hundreds of pages of pdf files. This virtual storytelling project offers imaginative insights into the collection and provides an experiential learning experience on key themes facing women during this significant period.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tClick Here\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"ACE5411\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n

Culture is a key driver for diplomacy and intelligence. Students will develop the capacity to translate cultural intelligence into programmes and actions that promote the respect and understanding of diverse culture, and develop skills in pitching proposals and report writing with clear position on cultural diplomacy and intelligence supported by strong research.<\/p>\n

Student groups were given the scenario that they were research consultancies specialising in cultural diplomacy, intercultural understanding and cultural intelligence, who were tasked with engaging an arts\/cultural organisation to evaluate one of their programmes and make recommendations for how to improve their capacity to respond to cultural diversity.<\/p>\n
