为促进中新两国大学生之间的文化交流，新加坡淡马锡理工学院邀请汕大学生参加淡马锡理工学院“全球社区日”系列活动之摄影竞赛和影展。作品提交截止日期：2021年9月24日11:59（新加坡时间）。

This year Temasek Polytechnic's Global Community Day (GCD2021) is the first of a three-part series –Culture Collectives that celebrates the unique and shared histories, cultures and futures of ASEAN member countries, China and India through distinct themes from 11th until 24th November 2021.

This year’s theme centres on RICE.

Rice is the staple food for more than half the world’s population. It is more than sustenance. It feeds the spirits, inspires artistic forms, and necessitates inventiveness. It becomes the daily language for millions in Asia. It is a way of life. Through an exploration of rice cultures, we will be engaged in learning about the rich and diverse philosophies, symbolism and expressions, manifested in cultural practices such as food, dance and craftwork.

The countries in focus this year are China, Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore.

Included in the array of programmes are virtual talks, virtual tours, onsite workshops, an i-Xchange, and a photography competition – the winning entries of which would be featured in an photography exhibition.

Themes could include any of the following aspects but must depict cultural elements:

• Producing rice (e.g., types of rice, paddy fields, hybrid rice, technologies, rice merchants)

• Consuming rice (e.g., ways of eating rice, rice by-products like pastries, snacks, wine, artefacts, utensils, cooking methods)

• Celebrating rice (e.g. harvest festivals, dance, rituals, rice goddesses)
