The National Day Parade (NDP) is an annual parade held in Singapore to commemorate its independenc, it is the main public celebration of National Day, and consists of a parade incorporating contingents of the Singapore Armed Forces, Ministry of Home Affairs, local institutions and community groups, followed by a cultural presentation featuring music, dance displays, parachuters, and a fireworks show.

First held on 9 August 1966 to mark the one-year anniversary of Singapore's declaration of independence from Malaysia, it has been held annually since then. The parade had historically been held at the Padang, but were occasionally held at the former National Stadium, and in a "decentralised" format across the country to encourage wider public participation. Beginning in 1984, the Padang began to host the parade on a regular cycle (initially once every three years, and then every five years beginning 1995) and during all years marking anniversaries of national significance, with the event otherwise hosted by the National Stadium.

Question 5

We celebrate by

1. Education and Awareness: Schools can incorporate multicultural education into the curriculum to teach students about different cultures, histories, and traditions. This helps promote understanding, respect, and appreciation for diversity. Celebrating cultural heritage months or organizing cultural festivals can also create opportunities for students to learn about and celebrate different racial and ethnic backgrounds.

2. Inclusive Environment: Schools should strive to create an inclusive and welcoming environment where all students feel valued and respected. This can be achieved by promoting inclusive policies, fostering positive relationships among students, and actively addressing any incidents of discrimination or prejudice.

3. Dialogue and Discussion: Encourage open and honest dialogue about race and diversity. Schools can facilitate discussions, workshops, or forums where students can share their experiences, perspectives, and concerns regarding racial issues. Engaging in respectful conversations about race helps promote understanding and empathy among students.

4. Collaboration and Cooperation: Encourage students from different racial backgrounds to collaborate on projects, group activities, or community service initiatives. This promotes teamwork, breaks down barriers, and encourages students to appreciate each other's strengths and contributions.

5. Cultural Exchange Programs: Organize cultural exchange programs where students can learn about each other's cultures, traditions, and customs. This can involve inviting guest speakers, organizing field trips to cultural events or museums, or establishing partnerships with schools from different racial or ethnic backgrounds.

6. Anti-Racism Initiatives: Implement anti-racism initiatives within the school community. This can include workshops on implicit bias, diversity training for staff, and promoting zero-tolerance policies against racism and discrimination.

Why is this event important to Singapore?

Singapore is a multi-racial and multi-religious society. Therefore, racial and religious harmony is vital for Singapore's social cohesion. This harmony does not come naturally – we need to take the effort to build trust, and acceptance between different races and religions, and protect the common space that we have.

As part of National Day celebration ideas in schools, it is common to have performances and skits that recount stories about Singapore. Get the students involved in the performances. Even the normally passive audience can be engaged by giving them a role to play in the performance.

During said meeting, the World Friendship Crusade was born. The World Friendship Crusade is a foundation that promotes friendship and fellowship among all human beings, regardless of race, color or religion. Since then, 30 July has been fervently celebrated as Friendship Day in Paraguay every year and has also been adopted by several other countries.[5]

The World Friendship Crusade has lobbied the United Nations for several years to recognize 30 July as World Friendship Day; finally, in 2011, the General Assembly of the United Nations decided to designate 30 July as the International Day of Friendship and proceeded to invite all the Member States to observe the International Day of Friendship per the culture and customs of their local, national and regional communities, including through education and public awareness-raising activities
