YSMOU representatives enjoyed the ideation session, particularly Brother Syafiq, who is an active seafarer and was attending the YNTUC workplan seminar for the first time.

He shared with his groupmates about his experiences out at sea and the ongoing challenges seafarers face, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The other members gained more understanding of the life of seafarers and their important role in international trade. In exchange for his sharing, Brother Syafiq also learned more about the Labour Movement and how young union leaders are able to contribute towards the movement.

It was indeed a fruitful session of learning and exchanging of meaningful ideas.
