MCCY organised the Racial & Religious Harmony Circle Leader’s Workshop & National Appointment Ceremony at Pan Pacific Hotel on Saturday. The morning workshop focused on mapping out our Workplan for the year based on the 4 key thrusts of our Refresh Plans i.e. Diversify Composition, Build Capabilities, Refresh Programmes & Enhance Outreach. 1) The rational for composition targets are to ensure diversity in Harmony Circles. 2) In Outreach, we should look at Who we should engage better, How we can engage them better & What skill sets and resources we need to support our outreach? 3) Programmes -we need to ascertain what type of programmes are of interest to our stakeholders e.g. tours, interfaith dialogues, social cohesion (festivals, sports, tree planting), HC Cares - caring for our vulnerables in the community. The National Appointment Ceremony was held in the afternoon and the GOH was Minister Edwin Tong who presented the certificate of appointments to the Chairman of HCs. He also launched the new logo for Harmony Circle. The Harmony Circle Coordinating Council (HCCC) will work with 17 other GRC HC Chairman to map out all activities for the refreshed Harmony Circle.
