Going to Renaissance!

SSEAYP is a continuous program. After the program we wil have many chances to actualize ourselves trhough the programs for the alumni.

Last week I went through the selection to chose the SSEAYP alumni for joining Renaissance 2006. And I made it. I will be in Renaissance 2006 with my senior, Yenita Mulia, from batch 1998.

We will be in Japan in October to join several activities including the Orientation, Opening Ceremony, Keynote Speech, Reception, Local Program in Miyagi and Fukushima for course 1 and for Course 2 in Nagano and Gifu Prefecture. There wil be also Tokyo Program that consists of Young Leaders Forum, Field Trip, and the Global Youth Conference.
Wish I could learn more from that program, to do more.

Here is the quote of Renaissance Outline to provide you the picture of what Renaissance is.

Those youth from diverse parts of the world who are taking active roles in various fields from business to education to youth development are invited to Japan for the 21st Century Renaissance Youth Leaders Invitation Program 2006. By providing a wide range of activities with the Japanese youth for them, we seek to:
1) promote their understanding towards Japan;
2) broaden international outlook of the Japanese youths;
3) promote further mutual friendship and understanding among the youths from Japan and the respective countries;
4) foster their spirit of international cooperation, continuous peace and prosperity; and
5) elevate their practical abilities to take part in the field of international cooperation.

As the result of this program, further, we expect them to show leadership in different areas of a globalizing world and to take an active part in youth development activities.

Wish us luck! :-)
