Racial Harmony Day Celebration 2013

What a spectacle it was! From the rhythmic energy of the multi-racial drumbeats to the colourful array of fusion ethnic costumes, it was indeed an event to remember. 


Racial Harmony Day Celebration 2013 @ ITE College East is about embracing our differences and uniqueness of our racial and cultural heritage in unity. Helmed by Lifeskills Department, the celebration started in class with a discussion on what it was the true meaning of having racial harmony in Singapore. 



This was followed by a celebratory event a week later on 17 July that featured a dynamic drumming showcase by Rhythm Masala, two skits which moved the audience with their insightful glimpses into the lives of ordinary Singaporeans of different races, and a Fusion-Fashion Parade, where the models themselves had to create original pieces by fusing a traditional costume and modern daily wear. 




The winners, Alex Chong Zhao Min and Gillien Loh Ka Yarn, were crowned Mr Unity and Miss Harmony respectively. The top three winning couples would also be participating in the Singapore Fashion Showcase at the National Day Celebration 2013 in August.
