Topic   : Pre-SSEAYP Training 2003
Group Leader   : Ultramong (OBSC Representative of Thailand)
Chairperson: *******
Secretary: *******

Based on the discussion, the participating youth had raised several suggestions to the Cabinet Office for the next pre-SSEAYP training. The suggestions are as follows ;

  1. IYEO must make a standardlization during the selection of the PYs. For example, every country must make a special English test.
  2. IYEO should advise the committee in-charge for the pre-SSEAYP training to make sure that PYs have one day rest before departure.
  3. Each Country shall briefly explain to their PYs about other people or PYs culture, language, etc. For example, do and don’ts and the degree of the English of the PYs.
  4. Pre-SSEAYP Training shall be longer because it needs a lot of preparation before departure.
  5. Each contingent shall make their homepage during the pre-SSEAYP training. It is because of other PYs may know their friends earlier and also their activities before the SSEAYP. The implication of doing homepage is good for strengthening the friendship.
