S1 Starters: Managing Transition to Adolescence and Secondary School
2021-10-16 14:00 - 15:30 | Online Zoom
The move to secondary school means a number of major changes for all children. While most children are able to cope and get accustomed to them, some may struggle and may require additional support.

This could negatively affect them throughout their remaining secondary school days.

Understand changes in transition & adolescent stage
Staying engaged with your teen
Set limits to behaviour but pick your battles
Offer emotional support through empathy
Practical tips to manage the transition

Join us in this online seminar as we learn the changes experienced by our teens, how we support them emotionally, manage their behaviour and practical tips on helping them make the transition to secondary school.

About Anushia Flower Shop
Established in 1994, Anushia Flower Shop is named after Mr Selvam’s wife. Flowers are a necessity in many Hindu rituals: as part of traditional clothing, tributes to gods, festive decorations, and even medicine. For instance, during weddings, the bride makes her entrance beneath a flower canopy called the phoolon ki chaadar. It is typically decorated with bright red flowers to symbolise purity, protection, and bravery.

Anushia Flower Shop is also a pioneer in its field where they are the first garland maker in Singapore to digitalise their business. Their website was launched in 2019 with the help of Mr Selvam’s son and the move has greatly improved their business.

Spending time with your child is one of the elements of good fathering. Other elements include being consistent, aware and nurturing.

Importance of your involvement in your child’s life
What it means to be an authoritative father
How to help your child develop emotionally
Importance of being Consistent
Entering your child’s world through Awareness
Knowing your child’s inner world

ICAN workshops will empower and equip fathers and parents at all life stages to effectively engage, bond, and nurture their children.

Intercultural Seminar Series | Shaping Cultures and Minds in Early Singapore: Tamil Muslims and Malay Publishing
2021-09-18 22:00 - 23:59 | Facebook LIve
Did you know that some of the earliest Tamil books and newspapers in Singapore were published by the Tamil Muslim community here? What’s more fascinating is that the same community was instrumental in early Malay publishing in Singapore! Interested to know more about how the Tamil Muslim publishers and the Malay literati interacted and worked together?

Come join us in a specially curated seminar which will delve deep into this little-known subject.

Synopsis:
Early Singapore was marked by rapid economic enterprises by different communities that contributed to the multicultural life. Despite the enclaves of ethnic settlements under the Raffles Town Plan of 1828, there were a lot more intercultural engagements among communities along the Singapore River to Telok Ayer and stretching to the Kallang River. The Kampong Glam area was particularly interesting. Besides being an economic node in early Singapore, it was also the intellectual hub of the Malays. Publishing houses played a significant role in the transmission of ideas and knowledge for the region. What is less known is the contributions of Tamil Muslims in the literary translation and publishing scene. This seminar will discuss the interactions between Tamil Muslim literati and Malay publishing houses in the Kampong Glam area.

Presenters

Dr Torsten Tschacher
Dr. Torsten Tschacher has long been involved in researching Tamil Muslims in Singapore. He is currently associated with the Berlin Graduate School Muslim Cultures and Societies.

About the course conductor:
Like many other Indians, Radhika was introduced to cooking at a young age, observing and helping her mother out in the kitchen. As she is equipped with those skills from a young age, she is very particular about handmaking Indian sweets at home.

At home, she can control the ingredient proportions and pick quality ingredients. Different proportions of jaggery (raw sugar), ghee and milk result in different textures and flavours so making them at home allows her to tailor the sweets to her loved ones’ preferences! When she puts in all this love and care into her sweets and see the smiles on the faces of friends and family, that sense of satisfaction is the sweetest thing to her.
