BREAK The Silence is a musical parade for youth to come together and make a stand against bullying.
Participants will walk from The Cathay to Orchard Central and back.
They will be led by a percussion band. The walk will alternate between silence and music at different landmarks.
Along the way, participants will be encouraged to engage passers-by by giving out free hugs and stickers at various intervals.
When they return to The Cathay, participants will engage in a segment called "Break-a-Way".
They will be asked to write down derogatory terms they have been called on chipboards, after which they will break the board.
Break The Silence is funded and supported by Central Singapore CDC's Mayor's Imagine Fund, which aims to promote active citizenry in youth and help them realise their ideas for the community.
Registration at $5 starts at 4:30pm tomorrow. The parade starts at 5pm.
