Programme Overview

“We relate to each other because we are similar.
We learn from each other because we are different”


The boundaries for each individual are truly endless. With this notion in mind, the Internationalization Programme strive to empower the young leaders with the tenacity and confidence to go beyond what they had thought they could possibly achieve.

Internationalization programme such as students exchange programme, twinning programme, international forum and summit are hoped to be a high profile platform for elite student leaders from MCKK to interact, network, forge friendships and build bonds across borders, as well as exploring the challengers and opportunities that await them.


Activities have been designed to benefit students in the following areas:
-Establishment of friendship
-Cultivation of positive moral values and character development
-Familiarity with own and other countries culture
-Historical and socio-cultural enrichment
-Exposure to education and school system of other countries


Aims

-To create conducive discussions and meaningful interaction between different Asian countries, giving the participants a wider perspective of worldwide issues.

-To ‘think global, act local’ – to enhance the participants’ character development by acting as a platform for them to carry out concrete community involvement activities enabling them to be valuable members of society.

-To allow participants to hone their leadership skills through the spectrum of dialogues, ample opportunities will be provided for participants to gain experience from, and exposure to various leadership fields.

-To develop new networks because it is a good platform for student leaders to meet, interact and explore the challenges and opportunities for young people in Asia.


MCKK Students as Young Leaders

-Young leaders of the future should be initiated into the world of politics and encouraged to be politically aware of developments worldwide. Being educated on regional and international political issues will allow one to be capable of forging strong diplomatic ties.

-A leader must strive to be socially aware and able to empathize with others. These are basic virtues that complete an individual’s holistic development.

-As society modernizes, human relations may run the risk of degeneration with the prevalent use of automated technology; communication and social skills should thus be further emphasized upon for leadership to be effective.
