Education is a journey that should be enjoyed with wonder. To help us on this journey, we work closely with our partners.

National Library Board (NLB)

Since 2007, we have collaborated with the NLB on the “Kids Can Write!” roving exhibition which showcases storybooks from the N6 cluster”s burgeoning young authors. Additionally, the exhibition also features workshops on writing or English taught by Ms Catherine Khoo and a segment called “Author Talks” where children candidly about writing. The “Kids Can Write!” exhibition has also witnessed the birth of The Audio Book Presenters’ Scheme, where the finest storybooks from our young authors are converted to an oral format.

N6 Cluster, Ministry of Education

The N6 cluster has been working very closely with Janus Education since the inception of the Young Author Scheme in 2003. It has recently received a special recognition award at the shortlist ceremony of the Young Author Award 2009 for its dedication in nurturing young writing talent. Aside from writing, it has also piloted The Audio Book Presenters’ Scheme, a programme where budding voice talents narrate the best stories from the Young Author Scheme. Never afraid to be the first to try new things, the Young Comic Artist Scheme also made its debut with the N6 cluster; drawing out the potential of the doodler, the dreamer and most importantly, the visual thinker!

Newsmaker

Storytelling takes on a whole new dimension with our technology partner Newsmaker. This user-friendly and fun software brings the world of broadcast to curious young minds as infinite possibilities are explored and digital storytelling is nurtured! Borne from this collaboration is the 2009 DigiTales Awards, where the finest young digital storytellers in Singapore will be recognised.
