For this activity, cadet leaders are required to design a 30-minute TD lesson for their junior cadets, their peers, and/or even the community. Cadet leaders are encouraged to tap on their understanding of, experience and personal convictions in Total Defence. They are also encouraged to utilise their creativity to share a Total Defence-related topic with their chosen audience.

Lesson requirements

Read the following document and slides for a guide and suggested format for the TD lesson. 

Post-Lesson Reflection

This reflection should be completed after you have completed the planning and presentation of your project proposal, or when instructed by your Teacher Officer.

This activity allows cadet leaders to demonstrate their understanding of Total Defence and social responsibility, and is a platform for them to make meaningful contributions to the community in a Total Defence-related Values in Action (VIA) project. This project should be initiated, planned, and executed by cadets in small groups, and should target the wider community beyond school. 

Note: Cadet leaders who have initiated, planned, and executed Total Defence-related VIA projects with their class or Uniformed Group through other programmes/initiatives (e.g., SGSecure’s “Keep Singapore Safe” programme) can move straight to the post-project reflections part of the activity.
