New fund aims to promote youths’ ‘active role’ in shaping Singapore’s heritage, with up to S$7,000 funding per project

The fund also hopes to build the capabilities of the next generation of heritage enthusiasts and encourage youths to develop and ‘implement heritage projects that are beneficial to the local community’. — Singapore National Heritage Board via TODAY picSINGAPORE, Oct 26 — Youths involved in projects on Singapore’s heritage will now be able to tap a new fund that provides funding of up to S$7,000 per project.

These projects can take on various forms, such as an exhibition, a guided tour programme, a talk, lecture and workshop or a temporary outdoor artwork installation.Successful applicants will receive funding of up to 80 per cent of supported costs for their projects, at a cap of S$7,000, depending on the merits of the project, NHB and NYC said in a joint press statement.

The blueprint, to be developed by NHB’s Youth Panel, will outline recommendations on how to strengthen and sustain youth interest and involvement in the heritage and museum sector, based in part on the survey findings. The respondents said examples of possible youth-led projects include exploring lesser-known histories and driving community-led efforts to make heritage relevant to and more accessible across neighbourhoods, generations, and cultures.
