Drama groups to help tackle integration issues: spread values of empathy and patience

by |Published

Interactive plays will be staged across Singapore from July, to spread values of empathy and patience in a bid to promote integration among new citizens and Singaporeans.’

 

The interactive forum theatre will be staged mainly in English and encourages audience members to think, role-play and discuss with cast members on how to tackle integration-related issues. Apart from staging dramas, PA is also hoping to find ways to build common spaces that will allow Singaporeans and new citizens to interact.
