The Racial and Religious Harmony Circle is a key community platform to promote racial and religious harmony in Singapore. There are 93 Harmony Circles, one in every constituency.
The work of the Harmony Circle is instrumental in strengthening social cohesion in Singapore, both in peacetime and in times of crisis. This includes supporting the SGSecure movement.
The Harmony Circle, formerly known as the Inter-Racial and Religious Confidence Circle (IRCC), was refreshed and renamed in July 2022 to reflect its broader mission to promote racial and religious harmony in Singapore by building trust, understanding and confidence among the various communities in peacetime and in times of crisis.
With the refresh, the Harmony Circle aims to ensure (i) a more diverse representation that reflects the community they serve, (ii) more regular and impactful programmes, (iii) enhanced capabilities in members for more effective and sustainable impact, and (iv) greater public visibility online and offline to better engage diverse communities.
