Our Global Concerns programme Students making a mark
The College’s Service programme beyond Singapore is called Global Concerns (GC). A unique student run and led programme, there are 57 GCs at the College, enacting a wide variety of activities and projects reflecting a range of global development challenges and associated environmental issues with a particular focus on the climate emergency. Projects address the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, providing opportunity, empowering communities and addressing social, economic, gender, education and health disparities. In 2018/2019 students took action to address both localised and systemic issues. Activities range from such immediate actions as providing diapers for a children’s home in China, to helping to secure Singapore’s long term climate security and bio-diversity by driving rainforest restoration projects.
