Dear Class,
NUS Libraries is organizing a student leader programme for youths and students in Singapore.
The Temasek Foundation – NUS Heritage Champions Programme (TF-NUS Heritage Champions), which is in its second run, is a 2-year programme funded and supported by both Temasek Foundation and the National Heritage Board of Singapore.
The main aim of the programme is to recruit youths, Singaporeans and PRs, aged between 18 to 35, who are interested in heritage issues in Singapore and get them to work on digital heritage projects with an emphasis on interacting with the community that they have chosen.
NUS Libraries will be providing the youths with training in both research and digital skills and students who are selected to pilot their project can win prizes worth up to $1,200 and a generous stipend when they are embarking on their projects.
