Singapore cannot count on others to look out for our interests; most countries practise realpolitik where pragmatism drives policies. Like how Western Europe refrain from intervening directly in Ukraine due to threat of conflict spilling over their borders and them depending on Russia for their energy needs.

We as a small country cannot afford to antagonize others. But at the same time, we have to continue to advocate and stand up for a rules-based global system so small countries like us can feel confident in our security.

Individually, we have to inculcate the habit of standing up for what is right and being an upstander.

# data[].attributes.body
a) Stand up for what is right and just according to the law and principles set by Singapore government and the UN.

Key Takeaways

I am thankful for the peace and stability in Singapore, and praying for the people both in Ukraine and Russia.

It is never anyone's wish to be living in war times and we need to be supportive towards others, while at the same time continue to unite as ONE SINGAPORE.

Maintaining good relationships with other countries and always practise the value of acceptance. When given a choice, always choose KIND.

# data[].attributes.body
What I've learnt from the situation is that history will most definitely repeat itself. Humans are flawed and the situation now in Ukraine is not ideal and not what we hope to see in this day and age. As part of the community, we should not shy away from the topic but actively teach friends/people/students how violence is not an answer to problems. As part of Singapore, I feel very privileged to be safe here knowing war is happening elsewhere.

# data[].attributes.body
During IFD, I hope to really share what friendship really means. Its not a give and take relationship but one of mutual respect and understanding of each other. One should strengthen the values of acceptance and responsibility to uphold the idea of a citizen that hold the sense of belief that everyone is not perfect and we should not hold grudges and be more sensitive to each others needs graciously.

# data[].attributes.body
We have been fortunate and blessed to enjoy peace and stability here. Russia's attack on Ukraine reminds us how vital it is for us who call Singapore home to work together to preserve this peaceful and happy state of affairs.

# data[].attributes.body
The takeaways:
We need to cherish the peace and safety we have in Singapore. I cherish what I have in Singapore when I think about the war in Ukraine and the possible upcoming conflicts between Taiwan and China. As resident in Singapore, I hope fortunate to have my family here.

CCE lessons are more than learning core values. As a CCE and MTL teacher, I can guide students to understand that the world is bigger than they think. Learning their mother tongue language and even the third language is to open their minds and prepare them to be global citizen.

# data[].attributes.body
As a music teacher, I have the opportunity to engage students in understanding and appreciating different cultural music, folk songs and ethnic musical instrument. Music is a universal language that unites people regardless of race, language or religion, or countries. I will intentionally develop students' attitude towards the values of acceptance, responsibility to uphold peace and harmony among nations as I walk them through the journey of global music.

As a Science teacher, I would like to break down the big things that is happening in the world. The big words like nuclear war is something I would like to scaffold for the children and how it affects us though we are far away from them. Bringing in ethics and values in Science. How we can use technology as a double edged sword either to benefit or cause harm

# data[].attributes.body
The people's resilience and belief in the cause is so important. We have to ingrain these into our students as they are the future of our country.

# data[].attributes.body
Key takeaway: The truth is that we are really a small country and that makes us very vulnerable. I am appreciative of the efforts by our government to strategize and maximize our survivability. Remember the past, cherish the present and prepare for the future.

# data[].attributes.body
Main Dabao : Although a tiny red dot which causes us to be vulnerable , our government has introduced many policies and efforts that have strengthened our ability to survive and sustain as a country. Our education system has also educated our future pillars to remember the past so that they can appreciate the present. The 21st CC skills integrated into our lessons will then prepare them for the future.

I would like to heighten our students' awareness of the global issues and where we stand as nation. Build on my students' ability to work in teams, collaborate and value add to group work and show acceptance by being open to new ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Inculcate values such as acceptance and perseverance in my students. Increase awareness of global issues.
2. Be a good role model.
3. Fulfill my reservist obligations to the best of my ability.

# data[].attributes.body
a) I learnt that from this situation in Ukraine, we must develop shared values and good relations with others to prevent the chances of misunderstandings which will lead to fights and arguments.
b) we should not let rumours, gossip and misunderstandings cloud our judgement as firstly those are all incorrect statements. We should seek information from credible sources and spreading of misinformation will only create false judgements of others and hence community will not be united as one.
c) we must be able to think forward and plan for any possible situations that can happen between Singapore and any countries in the world. Prevent war by coming together to discuss and resolve problem as calmly as possible.

# data[].attributes.body
Examples:
be a concerned citizen and as a teacher, be a role model by leading the way for my students to follow. I can talk and share about importance of making friends and ways to prevent arguments with my class so that they know what and how to react in situations that are similar. I can also apply CCE lessons into my art lessons by discussing artworks from artists of different backgrounds, applying the school values into our discussions.

# data[].attributes.body
Main takeaway: Being a tiny little red dot on the world map, we are very much vulnerable when such tension arises. Moreover, we are most likely to be affected economically or in other ways if countries around the world have conflicts. I am grateful to be born in Singapore where I feel safe. And, when such tension arises, I know Singapore is doing its best for us and our families.

# data[].attributes.body
I would continue teaching our students about the importance of having the awareness of what's happening around us. It may look too far fetched for them but I think its our responsibility to teach them the importance by scaffolding the information. I think having IFD around is an extra bonus as we can take the liberty to explore more topics and talk to our students about it. Especially the upper primary students.

1.During CCE lesson to reaffirm the importance of harmonious society.
2. During Muslim in fasting to encourage students show their respect and care to muslim classmate.

2. Teach students how to deal with bad emotions, learn to correctly deal with conflict with others.( 君子动口不动手）

# data[].attributes.body
The peace we have currently did not come easy. We could be at war any time if we do not maintain relations with other countries well. I also understood why Singapore stood up for Ukraine on the global stage as small a country we are.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Reinforce the importance of maintaining good relationships with other countries during SS lessons, especially during IFD week.
2. Encourage acceptance and understanding in my kids, esp P1s, about each others' race and religion. e.g. talk about why Muslims fast and what can we do during this period of time.
3. Be a good role model.

# data[].attributes.body
1) Get students to see that Singapore, in the middle of the whole world may seem like just a tiny dot, but the vast potential of our talents, contributions and strengths coming together have helped us build a stronger nation through the years.
2) Promote a strong Concerned Citizen Mindset in the students and get them to realise that growing up in Singapore, they have the very valuable opportunity to see people of many different cultures and that will teach to have a more globalised thinking and perception when they go out into the world in the future.
3) Go deep into the students' minds and engage them well when delivering CCE lessons and help them see relevance in what they're learning to their own lives.

I treasure every day that there is peace and stability in Singapore and in the countries where my love ones are. I pray for affected countries for peace and deliverance.

# data[].attributes.body
In times of stability, we can do our part to build character and values in the future generation. Teach them to be filled with gratitude.

For lower primary, during IFD, I can do my part to teach my class about the different ASEAN countries. I can also share with them inspirational stories of resilience and excellence in the local context that I read in the papers. Something that they can be inspired by to better themselves and the lives of those around them.

# data[].attributes.body
Every moment in school is a teachable moment; guide students to accept each and every schoolmates they have regardless of race, religion or nationality. If we see students making unintentional remarks that may hurt others, guide them to be more sensitive towards others' feelings. Lead students to understand that different cultures have different practices and beliefs, and that practising acceptance and being sensitive is a virtue to uphold.

As a soldier ready to defend Singapore, I will continue to train and be mentally and physically prepared through the next 7 to 8 years of reservist.

# data[].attributes.body
Singapore has come a long way to build the peace and security that we are enjoying now. We should not take it for granted, but instead nurture the next generation to continue maintaining the peace and stability. Regardless of any international conflicts, as one Singapore, we should learn from the conflicts, always stand together and do our part to protect Singapore; one way or another through the six pillars of defence.

# data[].attributes.body
(a) I should not take the peace and harmony in Singapore for granted.
(b & c) Encourage others to take action in protecting / the other pillars in Singapore, to develop our skills.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Guide my students through IFD and show them how the different cultures can work together.
2. Inculcate more values in my classes.
3. Use of THINK and HOPE framework so that students learn to think through their actions before anything.

# data[].attributes.body
We have to appreciate whatever we have, don't take things for granted. There is one idiom I always bear in mind, that is 居安思危(think of the time of peril in times of peace, be prepared for possible future perils while enjoying peace. )

# data[].attributes.body
As a MT teacher as well as CCE teacher, I have always used the teachable moments to address to my students:
(1) I always emphasize to my students by saying "it is better to have one more friend rather than have one more enemy.
(2) I always teaches them how to avoid conflict with others , how to build relationship with others and how to get along with others.
(3) I will also used newspaper article to show them how our government has set a good example in helping neighbouring  countries during COVID , and also when other countries need helps , our government will always give a helping hand to them.
By doing so, our government has built a very good rapport with other countries.

# data[].attributes.body
1. During CCE/FTGP lessons, help and guide students to understand how important friendship is. Then guide them to link the importance of friendship between the different countries.

2. Help students to get more understanding of IFD and practice value in acceptance, respect and care.

3. Encourage students to read more newspapers to be concerned about domestic and international affairs in order that students will be more appreciative of the stable life now.

# data[].attributes.body
(a) Wars are easy to start. But the costs are very difficult to manage.

(b) Although the conflict is a long distance away, the effects have a knockdown effect on the daily lives of people due to how interconnected the World is now today. The conflict has led to some uncertainty in the world's energy supplies hence impacting global fuel prices which will then impact local energy costs and subsequently affecting the basic living costs for all.
Those with more spending power would be able to cushion the increases but those with limited spending power would face greater pressure in surviving.

(c) While it is vital that Singapore remains relevant to the world in many fields, Singapore needs to ensure that her people and defences are strong.

# data[].attributes.body
Apart from faithfully serving NS, I can keep up with the world developments and teach others to solve disagreements peacefully.

# data[].attributes.body
(a) As an individual, I learn that even though wars should not happen, I should always be mindful that they can occur due to historical and political reasons which I have no control over. Therefore, I must be prepared for such an event by being a loyal Singaporean and having good relations with my fellow countrymen so that when such things happen in the future, I will have comrades who will fight and defend ourselves and our way of life together.
(b) In order to have a close knit community, we should always show care and concern for our fellow countrymen and help each other whenever possible. For example, extending a helping hand to neighbours and friends. Having good relations with the community will strengthen the community bonds that will deter enemies from attacking us because they will know that we will not be an easy target and not easily split up when times are tough.
(c) As a Singaporean, I learn that we are in it together and we must be relevant to the world so that we will not be easily outcast. Everyone should do their part to make our country successful, develop our talents and expertise such as in green energy and finding ways to mitigate climate change.

# data[].attributes.body
1) During IFD, I talk to the students about how showing acceptance and graciousness to others of different cultures is very important because it will strengthen our bonds as a community. I tell them it is not right to call each other names and say offensive remarks that will cause hurt and anger to people of other races and nationalities. For example, I asked how may of them have parents or relatives of different nationalities. Many of them raised their hands and noticed that Singapore is made up of diverse nationalities working and living together. The common thing is that we are here in the same country and we should be united as one people, one nation, one Singapore.
2) I advise my P6s to always think about the future and how what we do now will affect our future. If they want success in the future, it starts with their own effort and it has to be sustained throughout. I tell them that our school values of integrity, responsibility, excellence, acceptance and perseverance should always be in their minds and in whatever actions they do.
3) In CCE, I want to motivate the students to always regard Green Maker as a key aspect of life because Singapore is and will be finding ways to deal with climate change and be an example for other countries to follow.

# data[].attributes.body
I am personally grateful and thankful that I live in a stable country Seeing how much the people suffer in Ukraine and Russia kind of remind me not to take things for granted and also appreciate what the Singapore government has put in place for us.

We must UNITE as SINGAPOREANS to protect our country and in difficult times play our part as Singaporeans. For example during covid time, I help to inform my elderly neighbours of any updates pertaining to covid.

Be kind to others and show acceptance of foreigners living in Singapore. Embrace them with a big heart.

Individual
- Things happen for a reason. However we must always stand up to our belief no matter how other view it. Our world view and belief does matter as a small nation but it has to be consistant in all aspect.

Community
- As the world has no boundaries, we must learn each other views, belief with respect and tolerance. While we have out set of values that we conform, if other have different view we must be able to agree to disagree. Tolerence goes a long way than to prove whose theory is correct. No point finding who is right but the essence of living together is gone

Singapore
Singapore has always have a belief in data. Since they abstain from voting in human rights because of insufficient data, I believe Singapore is able to stay on its feet because we are driven by values and not sentiments. With that I am proud on the stand Singapore has taken in this issue.

# data[].attributes.body
To build a sense of belonging starts as an individual within our family before we can influence others in the community and impact Singapore. When people in the country stand united as one will then deter potential threats from becoming an actual risk.
