The exhibition also prompts visitors to reflect on their own experiences of bullying, whether they have been victims of bullying themselves or have acted in ways that count as bullying through interactive elements at each station. Let’s all promote a safe and supportive learning environment for children. Admission is free for Singaporeans and Permanent Residents.
