Vision

Ignite children’s curiosity for shaping a better world

Mission

To provide the creative learning opportunities that cultivate children’s curiosity about the interconnected world, then support them to take action to be a global change-maker

Our Message

Providing “Seeds” of curiosity to ignite curiosity and passion we each hold in ourselves through hands-on experience

We established iGNICA with the aim to enable each child to pursue their curiosity and realize what they can contribute to the world to make it a better place. We provide this opportunity through hands-on experience based on real society in the world.

Children are born as full of potentials. When a child encounters something they like, they can engage and concentrate for a long time. Through the experience with real society, children’s curiosity will shift toward the people and society surrounding them, and when this experience connects with their own interior passion, they can be innovative and create new ideas for the world.

In this globalized world, iGNICA will provide workshops and holiday camps to equip children with the following skills based on challenges in current society.

Our mission is to present as many opportunities to children as possible to ignite their curiosity.

When the “seed” of curiosity does will sprout will depend on each child. For a flower to bloom and bear fruit fruit to bear, each child will need to tend their own seeds, by watering them and fertilizing them. Singapore, where East meets west, frontier of globalization, is a place that is full of opportunity that can nurture and develop the seeds to enrich the future.
