Loud, pulsating music...
Drinks on the house... Hunks on parade...
A regular clubbing scene from Zouk or Ministry Of Sound? Not quite. The setting is actually our NYP atrium that was transformed into a club setting on 30 November. Welcome to the party by Club 1724 (club for youths between 17 and 24 years of age). The club held an all-day party with interesting highlights, such as hunky male models at a fashion parade. |

This innovative idea, the brainchild of a team of 11 Nursing students, won the second prize at StompAids, a competition organised by the Health Promotion Board (HPB) that requires youth to create an innovative marketing campaign to raise HIV awareness among their peers.
Explained team leader Raihana bte Imberan, “We came up with this idea because we know that our friends and schoolmates will be bored if we simply put up exhibition panels on HIV awareness. Since some of us go clubbing, we hit upon the idea of creating a clubbing scene. This is definitely more hip and would draw crowds. And all our activities carried key messages we wanted to reinforce. For example, we served mocktails with messages stuck to the drinks.” |
