Applied Learning Programme

Aims:

Our Applied Learning Programme, Global Citizenship Education Through Critical Social Inquiry (GCE through CSI), aims to develop students into lifelong learners with values, beliefs and attitudes that support responsible global citizenship.

GCE is a way of understanding, acting and relating oneself to others and the environment based on universal values. This cultivates respect for diversity and pluralism. The CSI approach facilitates the creation and understanding of deeper knowledge that leads to citizenship outcomes.

The programme invites students to explore pertinent global issues based on the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Students learn to empathise with affected communities, and develop the thinking and tools to be agents of change

Highlights:

Riverside Model United Nations (RSMUN)

The 2025 RSMUN theme, “Innovation and Inclusion: Forging a Progressive Nation,” encouraged students to engage with timely debates on how technology, sustainability, and social integration can move societies forward. Representing key figures, they examined both global and local perspectives, formulating resolutions that highlighted their role in co-creating Singapore’s progressive future.
