AJ Int’l Students Club : Living in a Global City
May 4, 2010
GLOBAL YOUTHS OF THE 21ST CENTURY
Over twenty foreign students converged at the first fellowship meeting of Asian Journeys’ international students club at a small auditorium chinese bookroom in Bras Basah Complex.
Ben Yeo and Zhou Jing shared their journey of conversations with Lawrence since Chinese New Year and their heartbeat of serving as volunteers of Asian Journeys to help reach out and organise international students living and studying in Singapore. Their aim is to build a community of friends who can grow and learn together in this precious springtime of their lives while they are away from home.
Lawrence Ko, ED of Asian Journeys, shared a message on the Global Youths of the 21st Century to encourage the youths to enjoy their journeys while in Singapore which is a global city, and to intentionally nurture themselves into global youths.
Six traits or global literacies were key to help them develop into self-confident cosmopolitan youths with social graces, etiquette and global perspectives. Living in the metropolis of Singapore or Asia, the youths need to be bicultural and indeed multicultural with cross-cultural skills and learning. The Global Youth of the 21st C needs also to be well read and well travelled and not be a frog in the well. As the Chinese proverb puts it, Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles.
The Asian Journeys International Students Club will be an excellent platform to foster such a transnational mindset as there will be programmes for youth leadership development and short journeys into the terrains of neighbouring countries, and opportunities to make friends and build a sense of community here in Singapore.
Membership fees: $10.00. Open to Foreign students in Singapore.

Next Meeting: Sat 29 May 7pm. Bras Basah Complex level 4. #04-41. Chinese Success media resources.
