At the SIWF, I was curious as to why students were walking around the barrage under the blazing sun, in traditional costumes that were not providing the slightest cool.

I approached them. I found out that they were in the Water Walk. The student-initiated project’s main aim was actually to educate the public about how the different countries collect water, and about the scarcity of water in their countries. It differs from the boring flyers you see, because the students actually interact with the public. Having this interaction would create a deeper impression on the public because it’s always easier to remember something people said, than reading the words on a piece of paper in your mind. So, head on down to the Marina Barrage next year, if you want to see more of Singapore Polytechnic’s funtastic activities for the same festival!
