23 CAPTains went on a 13-day trip to Myanmar in December, exploring the themes of employability and environment in Bagan, Mandalay and Yangon. Students visited sites and travelled to places using different modes of transportation – on buses, river ferry, bicycles and local train.
In Yangon, students had the opportunity to interact with the Singapore Ambassador to Myanmar, members of non-governmental organisations, religious leaders, people from different backgrounds, and Singaporeans involved in business in Myanmar. Through these conversations, they gained different perspectives and viewpoints on current issues related to the economy and the impact on communities and society.
