Ship For Southeast Asian and Japanese Youth Programme (SSEAYP)

About Ship For Southeast Asian and Japanese Youth Programme (SSEAYP)

Set sail on a voyage spanning more than 30 days with over 150 youths from ASEAN countries and Japan with SSEAYP!

Organised by the Cabinet Office of Japan and supported by the governments of Southeast Asia, SSEAYP has benefited over 1,000 Singaporean youths since 1974. Through SSEAYP, participating youths have the opportunity for international exposure and leadership development as they play a significant role as youth ambassadors for Singapore. The National Youth Council (NYC), Singapore's national co-ordinating body for youth affairs, oversees the programme.

The journey promises participants with vibrant discussions on social and youth matters and eye-opening cultural exchanges. At each port of call, participants can look forward to interacting with the local youths, paying courtesy calls on dignitaries, visiting local institutions and experiencing a unique home stay programme.
