To train is to form. Formation, creating a new form. Of course, it requires not only the formator's effort but also the formandi's willingness to be formed, to embrace new values and habits. Formation is then a cooperative project.
In SSEAYP predeparture training, the formation is to "Indonesianise" contingent members: to blend individuality with communality, to be different but share the same goal, to bow down more when achieve more. To be Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, unity in diversity. For Indonesia is a single entity but a plural noun.
We hope we, alumni and PYs, can carry out this project despite restless hours waiting ahead.
