Summer Programme 2019 - 1 -

INTRODUCTION The EU Centre together with its partners namely Universitas Indonesia (UI), University of Malaya (UM) and Maastricht University (MU) have been awarded the Jean Monet Network Grant by the European Union for a three-year period, starting from 2016 to 2019, to carry out a networking program under the title “Challenges to Multiculturalism and Multilateralism in Asia and Europe” (JMN-CMM: bit.ly/eucentresg-jmncmm). Under this scheme, we are organising a 2-week Summer Programme in Singapore and Maastricht in June 2019 under the theme “How ASEAN and the EU confront challenges to security and prosperity”. The Summer Programme aims: (1) to introduce students to the European Union (EU) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), (2) to explore how ASEAN and the EU relate to each other, and (3) to examine how these two regional organisations confront the challenges to security and prosperity. The Summer Programme (from 15 – 29 June 2019) will be held in two places: first week of the Summer Programme from 15 – 22 June will be held at the National University of Singapore. Participants will get to learn about ASEAN, go on educational and cultural excursions, and have dialogue with ASEAN ambassadors and experts. From Singapore, participants will then travel to Maastricht and spend a week from 23 – 29 June at the Maastricht University to discuss with academics and policy experts the key issues confronting the EU. Also included in the programme are visits to the EU institutions and other cultural excursions. This year, the Summer Programme commences a day earlier in Singapore, and the EU Centre has arranged ice-breaking games as well as city tour to welcome the students. We worked with Sneakpeek Singapore for the city tour, to bring the students on a day of exploration around Empress Place, Singapore River, China Square, Telok Ayer, Ann Siang, and Kreta Ayer.

SneakPeek Singapore's walking tours bring you on a comprehensive journey to understand the real Singapore beneath its glitzy facade. From the shores of the Singapore River, through gleaming skyscrapers of the CBD and past exquisite shophouses in Chinatown, you'll get to enjoy a diverse range of attractions, experiences and stories off the beaten track! Our tour provides a good overview of Singapore's rich and colourful history from the 1300s till today - Listen to our guide regale tales of our immigrant past, smell the incense offerings at centuries-old temples, and delve into the modern development of this unique city-state. And to cap off the tour, we'll be heading up to a quintessentially-Singaporean public housing block for a great sunset view! SneakPeek Singapore offers our signature pay-as-you-wish open-to-all walking tours every Saturday (1pm-6pm), from Singapore River, through Chinatown, to Taniong Pagar.
