About Write for Kindness
Write for Kindness (WFK) is a national creative-writing competition organised by the Singapore Kindness Movement (SKM), with the Singapore Book Council as our programme partner. WFK is a platform for secondary school, junior college, centralised institute, madrasah, special education and international school students to promote kindness to the younger audience by creating age-appropriate and culturally relevant children’s stories, through short stories, poetry, illustrations and songs. The competition aims to promote:
- the value of kindness through stories and poems which focus on the theme ‘Kinder You Leads to Us’ (fill in the blanks according to the picture book/poem).
- the importance of stories and poems as a means to positively impact pre-school children in their character development.
- story and poetry as creative means of expressing cultural values.
- teamwork among students who work together on the stories, poems and illustrations for pre-school children.
