Singapore Kindness Movement

Kindness Badge Award for Uniformed Groups The Kindness Badge is a mark of distinction awarded to students in Uniformed Groups who have completed tasks or projects that promote kindness and graciousness among their peers, within their schools, and to their families and communities. Students must complete specific tasks/projects for the level of badge they wish to attain, according to the 3 modules of the badge scheme: Bronze: Workshop’ where they will participate in a 2-hour interactive discussion on current affairs related to kindness in the community. This compulsory workshop equips students with social media marketing tools and serves as a prerequisite to the Gold badge level. Silver: Students would initiate a kindness campaign within their school as an individual or in a group and submit a short project report and reflection to their teachers upon completion. This optional module prepares them for the execution of a kindness campaign in the community required at the Gold badge level. Gold: Students are required to extend the reach of their kindness campaign to the community (outside the school) to promote graciousness within their communities. Students embarking on the Gold Badge must submit a short project report by the last Friday of August. Participating Uniformed Groups for the Gold Badge module will be invited to the Awards Ceremony in November to receive their Gold Badges.
