Learning the Value of Bravery, Familial Love, Teamwork and Empathy

Throughout “The Jungle Adventure”, the protagonists display their bravery and self-sacrificial natures by remaining strong in the face of adversity. Motivated by their love for each other, they draw courage and strength from their sense of community and familial duty. Learning to work together to achieve a common goal is also central to the characters in the musical, and wholly applicable to our daily lives. The musical also imparts the value of forgiveness, and its necessity to living harmoniously, be it with those around us, or with nature.

Wildlife Conservation

Inspired by Jane Goodall’s visit to Singapore (2018), Minister for Social and Family Development Desmond Lee stated the importance of learning to share our island with the wildlife by being mindful of their existence. As Mowgli learns to love and protect nature, so too will the audience adopt a mindful attitude towards the environment and the wildlife that live around them.

To draw attention to the plight of animals in the wild, most of the central characters in the musical are endangered species. The survival of the Indochinese leopard, the pangolin, the Malayan tiger and the orangutan are under threat due to overwhelming habitat loss and poaching - a pressing situation requiring the cooperation of man. Mowgli’s position highlights how, although most of us are not directly at fault for this, we have nevertheless benefited from this plundering, ultimately emphasizing man’s responsibility to nature.
