Global Programme
In response to the government’s call for youths to broaden their horizons, OBS launched the Global Programme to expose young people to foreign cultures and environments. Each programme is a box of tools for building confidence, leadership, tenacity and other personal attributes aimed at helping youths develop a more adventurous and enterprising attitude. The programmes are categorized into the Adventure Challenge and Classic Challenge groups.
The Adventure Challenge takes secondary and tertiary students on exhilarating Outward Bound journeys to Bali, Sabah, Perak, Brunei Darussalam, India, Mongolia and Australia. In addition, student leaders will be challenged in more rigorous expeditions in deep snow conditions in South Korea, Japan and China. Through exposure to unfamiliar tropical and winter environments, participants will develop awareness of personal and group goal-setting, planning and coordinating as a group, team development and personal leadership styles.
The Classic Challenge is a 21-day Outward Bound course set in Australia or South Africa and is designed for adults from 18 to 35 years of age. This programme takes participants through mountain ranges, national parks, open-sea and river activities while being complemented by community engagement activities. It will help participants develop their personal attributes and contribution in the context of a group while also exploring their leadership potential.
