CURATING REAL-LIFE EVENTS “Yuhua Through Time”, “That 70’s Life” and “Health X Heritage” were conceptualised and executed by TRM Year 2 students for the integrated project in their Conventions & Events Management and Service-Learning in Action modules. They partnered the merchants’ associations in Hong Kah, Tanjong Pagar and Yuhua communities to create vibrant community spaces, by adopting different themes for learning and bonding. The integrated project gave students real-world opportunities to oversee the entire event, from inception to execution.
