Sports & Club Activity Committee

Fuji Maru leaves Thailand for Indonesia!

During our Pre-Departure Training sessions, the Sports & Club Activity Committee conducts sports, teach us on new wacky cheers, and introduce various club activities to us. Club Activities on board Fuji Maru aim to promote spontaneous communication among the PYs in pursuit of their common hobbies and interests. 

During SSEAYP, there is a Club Activity Sub-Committee, comprising 33 members: one Participating Youth (PY) from each contingent and 2 PYs from each Solidarity Group (SG). The Club Activity Sub-Committee shall decide the following matters and manage its operation:

• To decide the numbers of the clubs to be set up as well as the time schedule and their activities, based on the applications submitted by PYs.
• To reserve the room/place for each club activity.
• To design the procedure of the final presentation given by each club.

Fizah will represent the Singapore Contingent in the Sub-Committee.

The Discussion Programme Steering Committee had its first meeting on 4 November 2010. The Committee ensures the smooth operation of the Discussion Programme and the Post-Programme Session. It comprises 43 members: the Administrator, the Deputy Administrator, 3 Administrative staff, 8 Facilitators, 3 National Leaders and 27 elected Participating Youth (PY) Steering Committee members (one PY from each contingent and two PYs from each Discussion Group. SSEAYP 2010 Singapore Contingent will be represented by Yoong Kheong.

During our Pre-Departure Training, the Discussion Committee acted as facilitators to the discussion on the 8 different Discussion Themes. The themes are Corporate Social Contribution; Cross-cultural Understanding Promotion (or more affectionately called, C-cup), Food Culture/Food and Nutritional Education, School Education, Health Education (Measures against HIV/AIDS), Youth Development, International Relations (Japan-ASEAN Cooperation) and Environment (Climate Change).

We had our Discussion Programme (Group Discussion I) today on 7 November 2010!

SSEAYP 2010 Singapore Contingent boards Fuji Maru

SPY10s had our last breakfast at the National Youth Center (NYC). We are so going to miss the one-man-one-room accomodation at the NYC.

In the afternoon, we headed to Yokohama Port, where the majestic Fuji Maru awaits us.

Today we board the Fuji Maru (some call it the Love Ship)!

After getting ourselves oriented to the various venues within Fuji Maru, we enjoyed our first dinner on this ship, which we will be our home for the next few weeks...

Singapore Exhibition Booth @ Japan-ASEAN Youth Leaders Summit 2010

A day earlier, SPY10s checked in at the National Youth Center, Tokyo after our short but memorable homestay programme. We then had an interaction session with the Local Youths as part of the Japan-ASEAN Youth Leaders Summit (JAYLS). We underwent an Orientation and also some Discussion Group Activity.

Today, as part of the JAYLS, we have the Japan-ASEAN Cultural Exchange Programme. For Cultural Performance, SPY10s (Jed, Patrick, Yoong Kheong, Wei Siang, Yu Hua, Sin Yan, Rheea, Jun Yi, Priscilla and Rehana) did a contemporary dance to the tune of Everyone (the official Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games 2010 theme song).

After which, we set up our Singapore Exhibition Booth to showcase the richness and the uniqueness of Singapore! The spectacular display couldn't be possible without our creative and dedicated Exhibition Committee!

Take a look at our Exhibition Committee Photo shoot at the National Museum of Singapore:

 The Tikam Game was brought around the exhibition hall to draw crowds to the Singapore booth. SPY10s also did a flash mob dance to the tune of "Singapore Town" as a surprise element to create awareness and attract youths to our booth!

The Tikam Game - Dewi's baby!

Not forgetting the delicious Kachang Putih & Singapore food by Jeane!
