BINUS SCHOOL Bekasi Student Summit 2025, Where Young Minds Empower Education

BINUS SCHOOL Bekasi recently hosted the annual inspiring Student Summit 2025. This year’s event was dedicated to “Empowering Minds: Education for Tomorrow.” This influential summit brought together bright young minds from eight prominent schools, including BINUS SCHOOL Bekasi, BINUS SCHOOL Simprug, BINUS SCHOOL Serpong, SMAK BPK Penabur Kota Wisata, SCHOOL OF HUMAN, SMA Global Mandiri Jakarta, CIKAL, and Santa Ursula. 

As its main objective is clearly to ignite creativity, cultivate leadership, and celebrate the transformative power of education, our school recorded how students were actively paving the way for a brighter future. This is a manifestation of BINUS SCHOOL Bekasi’s commitment to fostering collaboration and leadership among students from various educational institutions.

A Collaborative Hub for Future Leaders

This year’s theme, Empowering Minds: Education for Tomorrow, highlighted the participation of eight distinguished schools around Jakarta. This diverse representation provided a unique opportunity for students from different educational backgrounds to interact, share insights, and learn from one another. 

Bima from Global Mandiri Jakarta School eagerly participated to gain, stating, ” I wanted to make new relations (networking) while exploring a new and wider environment and hone my public speaking skills.” 

The activities of the student summit this year indeed supported what BIMA desired through his participation. Building on the success of previous years, where schools visited other institutions, this year’s summit continued to emphasise inclusivity and shared learning opportunities. 

The participants got the opportunity to visit  SMP PGRI and SD Ar-Rahman,  where they met new peers from different backgrounds and built new meaningful networks through environment exploration.

Moreover, this occasion also marked BINUS SCHOOL Bekasi as an active promoter of inter-school collaboration and providing platforms for students to expand their networks and perspectives.

Creativity in Action: Action Plans and Reels Making 

A significant highlight of the Student Summit 2025 was the hands-on engagement in practical tasks that demonstrated student ingenuity. 

As Kimmy from Grade 9 BINUSS SCHOOL Bekasi explained, participants were tasked with creating engaging reels for each group, effectively summarising their experiences and insights. 

Crucially, they also presented their well-developed action plans for their school visits conducted this year. 

This segment of the summit accentuated the practical application of skills learned, encouraging both strategic thinking in developing comprehensive plans and creative expression through media production. 

The meticulous preparation involved for each participating group ensured a high standard of presentation and a dynamic showcase of their ideas. 

More than just offering creative exploration, student groups also learn to harness and hone their leadership skills while directing the team members, deciding what to do with their reels projects, and how to deliver their action plans.  

It certainly highlighted how BINUS SCHOOL Bekasi empowered the students to come up with realistic, creative innovation through diverse hands-on learning experiences. 

Building Connections and Broadening Horizons 

The Student Summit 2025 proved to be an invaluable avenue for students to build meaningful connections and significantly broaden their horizons. 

Brevian from SMA Penabur Kota Wisata enthusiastically shared his favourite part: “going out with the groups where I got to meet new friends and interact with them, knowing about their schools and their programme ideas.” 

This peer-to-peer interaction was central to the summit’s success, allowing participants to understand different educational philosophies and student initiatives beyond their immediate school environment. 

While going out for school visits, students got an additional yet noteworthy session to discuss with their peers. Through this informal engagement, they could learn about others’ aspirations and explore opportunities to realise them, which may lead to further collaboration in future student summits or student activities. 

The event solidified BINUS SCHOOL Bekasi’s role in creating an inclusive and enriching environment where students can expand their understanding and forge meaningful connections with peers from diverse backgrounds. This programme also demonstrated how education transforms inclusive collaboration into youth empowerment and how young minds and inspirations themselves empower education.   

Creating Positive Change Through Collaboration

The Student Summit 2025 programme beautifully combined collaborative learning, practical skill development, and inter-school networking, truly inspiring the future generation of leaders. Although short, all the activities effectively manifested the student summit’s core objective. 

The dedication, creativity, and proactive engagement of students and teachers throughout the summit were a precious aspect of this event’s success. They illustrated how a small step of collaboration in education could create positive change.  

BINUS SCHOOL Bekasi looks forward to the continued success of the Student Summit, ensuring that our students are well-equipped to contribute meaningfully to society.
