Calendar Project & Competition

Base on the theme "inclusively" the club members gathered their creativity to produce a table top calender.

"Inclusively"

 

In tune with our labor movement vision for a better and more meaningful life where working people of all collars, all ages, and all nationalities can live, work and play together in Singapore.

The project concluded on a high note with an official launch event. Many members stayed behind after the launch to get their very own autographed copy of the limited editing table top calendar.   (Likely to be a collectors item soon ;)

About Young NTUC

Young NTUC is the youth wing of the National Trades Union Congress. Catering to working people below 35 years old, Young NTUC currently has about 150,000 members. Working people today know what they want and how to help themselves. So does that mean that unions have outlived our usefulness? Young NTUC does not think so. Over the years, we have found relevance for our members to identify with, and no, none of these involve mercantile benefits. Our activists join us because they want to make a difference. Making a difference be they to themselves, their families, society or the world, we give them the platform. Creating Team Young NTUC fulfills one of these dreams. Through this platform, our members can now help make the world a better place to live in, one programme at a time. For more information, please visit www.youngntuc.org.sg
