Session 1: Introduction
Session 1: Introduction
In the first session, participants were welcomed to Perspectives 2025. They met the organising team, introduced themselves to their groupmates, and gained an overview of the Indonesia Overseas Learning Experiences (OLE) programme and its expectations.
To break the ice, students took part in an Indonesia x ASEAN Bingo activity — a fun and interactive way to get to know one another, their peers, and Indonesia a little better!
To cap off the session, participants were also challenged to design the official trip shirt for the Indonesia Overseas Learning Experience. This sparked their creativity and encouraged them to think about how design can reflect identity, purpose, and cultural appreciation.

In the second session, Geography teachers, Mr Fairoz and Mr Goh gave students a quick primer on the Theory of Plate Tectonics and the tectonic setting of Indonesia, the world's most seismically active location in the world.
Participants learnt about the internal structure of the Earth through a Ferrero Rocher, as well as the concepts of lava viscosity through conducting a live experiment using honey!
Session 3: Visit to Urban Redevelopment Authority
Session 3: Visit to Urban Redevelopment Authority
For our third session, our students visited the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) to deepen their understanding of Singapore’s planning priorities and long-term development philosophy.
Through interactive exhibits and a sharing by a URA officer, participants learnt how Singapore balances housing, transport, sustainability, and heritage in its urban planning.
The session provided a meaningful foundation for students to reflect on Singapore’s approaches in comparison with urban development in Indonesia.

Session 4: Visit to Hyundai mOTOR GROUP iNNOVATION CENTRE
For our fourth session, our students visited the Hyundai Motor Group Innovation Center to explore innovations in sustainable mobility and future transport solutions.
Students gained insights into electric vehicle production, smart manufacturing, and how technological advances are shaping more environmentally friendly transport systems.
This visit not only highlighted Singapore’s commitment to sustainable transport but also encouraged students to contrast these approaches with the transport challenges faced in Indonesia, deepening their appreciation of the different pathways countries take towards development.
Session 5: Visit to Solar Farm
Session 5: Visit to Solar Farm
For our fifth session, organised jointly with the Vietnam Perspectives programme, we invited JTC to share about Singapore’s renewable energy landscape and the key considerations in our transition to greener energy sources. Students were introduced to Singapore’s strategies in balancing energy security, affordability, and sustainability.
Following the sharing, students toured one of JTC’s solar farms at Changi Business Park, where they were able to witness first-hand the scale of solar panel installations in Singapore. This experience highlighted how renewable energy solutions, such as solar power, will play an increasingly critical role as Singapore works towards its goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
