Football

Every saturday we play football near royal oak station for around 2 hours. Anyone can play and we just play for fun so don’t feel intimidated if you think it will be competitive. When i came to London i barely knew any other Indonesians but because of PPI London football I made so many new friends that I am still close with until now. This activity has become a weekly routine that I look forward to every week. After we play we usually eat together too at Melur (Malay restaurant) in Edgware Road. The food is great and the atmosphere is always filled with laughter. Most of my Indonesian friends i met through football and everyone is so friendly. What truly makes PPI london football special are the tournaments that we attend every few months. If you do intend to play competitively, these tournaments were a highlight of my UK experience. Practising for these tournaments and travelling together as a team to other cities to play other PPIs was truly the best part of football.

Basketball and badminton

If you do not play football there are also other sports you can play every week such as basketball and badminton. The experience is equally as fun and you get to make friends here too. These weekly events are usually held similarly to football where people gather in a certain place, play for a while then go hang out. Also, these events have their own tournaments as well. The tournaments themselves are usually held by Indonesian communities and can be held in anywhere in the UK. Going to these events are incredibly fun and useful in connecting with other Indonesian’s in London so please consider joining us every week!

As mentioned previously, solidarity has helped me through my studies in Sydney, and I want to increase the level of solidarity of Indonesian students in London, to help each other more.

There are several plans that I have made to achieve this mission, one of which is by creating a platform for the RUDAL (Ruang Diskusi Anak London), where students will be able to discuss, ask for help, or get information from other students which will increase their level of solidarity.

It is very important to maintain health When studying abroad, where students will be far from their families and students must be able to care for their health independently. In response to this, PPI London provides opportunities for the Indonesian community in London to exercise while creating connections with their fellow Indonesians.

PPI London holds weekly sports for Indonesian students in London as motivation and a place for them to exercise regularly. This is a great chance for any Indonesians who are looking to have a good time enjoying sports and the company of others. We highly encourage anyone interested to join and don’t forget to bring your friends as well!

When I was studying in Sydney, Australia I had difficulty getting an internship at that time. But thanks to the existence of my friends, they managed to recommend me to a company for my intern. The story above gives the meaning that the development of networking among students is very important, which will be useful in the future.

These networking goals will be achieved by holding events that are communicative among fellow students, such as Soda Gembira, Piala Indonesia, and Makrab. Also, participation in events outside of London are great opportunities to further those connections.
