On Tuesday, March 14th, 2017, at 09.00 West Indonesian Time, UPT Lapsa and Foreign Affairs, in cooperation with UMY and the Singapore Polytechnic held a Learning Express provision called bounding,  taking place in the Seminar Room of the Faculty of Mineral Technology, which was opened by the Deputy Rector commissioning Students’ Affairs and Cooperation. This time the Learning Express Bounding Team was attended by 61 students from the three universities, Universitas Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran”Yogyakarta, Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta and Singapore Polytechnic. Three facilitators from Singapore polytechnic, two from UPN ”Veteran” Yogyakarta and from Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta were present. This activity is regularly held twice a year.

Bounding is a provision received by students before they join and carry out Learning Express, and is intended to enable them to get to know each other in discussions and get to know each other better thereby they are no longer uneasy when carrying out the Learning Express.

As the result of Learning Express, it is hope that the students may be able to solve a problem in a systematic way, as these students are trained to solve problems in a systematic way in the Learning Express. Moreover, they are supposed to be able to implement the Social Innovation Project (SIP) learned during the Learning Express.
