TICE 08 updates

Helloooooooo green peeps !
Now some updates on the recent TICE camp.







The 3D2N TICE camp at SMU this year was really great!
We really enjoyed the camp and made many new friends from
the tertiary institutions all over Spore...
The structure of the camp was really exciting for each of us involved...!

The Tertiary Institute Council for the Environment (TICE) Eco Camp is an annual camp organised by tertiary insitutes on a turn basis. Singapore Management University was this year's camp organiser.

The purpose of the camp is to better equip our youth with environment knowledge so that they will be better more responsible leaders of tomorrow. The objectives of the camp was to convince participants that a pro-environmental lifestyle is not inconvenient and motivate participants to take action in their respective tertiary institutes.

This year the focus of the camp was on, "reflect, react, relearn". Participants had participated in a 3 days 2 night camp, playing games around Singapore while learning environtmental values. Some games includes: Green Buildings, Recycling Bin Search, Recycle Bag, Green Task Sorting, Battleship, Polar Bear Game, Human Knot and Taboo.

Throughout the camp, participants were also required to keep track of our carbon emissions. The camp were also held in interesting places such as the Botanic, Fort Canning, National Library, Padang and Benjamin Sheare Bridge to allow for on-site-learning.
