SINGAPORE: Central Singapore CDC launched a website – www.trustcentral.org.sg – on cultural dos and don'ts on Sunday to allow youths to glean more information on races and to appreciate different cultures.

The new media is seen as the medium to reach the young crowd as many youths, aged between 16 and 25, spend their time surfing the internet.

Besides that, the CDC has also embarked on another idea to allow youths to gain cross-cultural experiences.

It has arranged for youths to spend some time in the homes of people of other cultures.

And the host families received tokens of appreciation on Sunday.

These families and the youths they hosted also talked about what they have learnt in a dialogue session with President S R Nathan.
