The EST Fun Walk & Run 2026 in Jakarta aims to foster a culture of healthy, caring, and sustainable living. The event, themed "Sustainable Future, Sustainable Living," encourages participation from the school community, including students, parents, teachers, and staff.

More than just a sporting event, the walk and run activities are designed to highlight the importance of physical activity, strengthen community bonds, and raise awareness about environmental issues. Participants can choose between walking or running. Along the route, three main checkpoints, Eco, Socio, and Tech, feature QR codes that provide educational messages. These messages focus on environmental preservation, social responsibility, and the wise use of technology.

The EST Fun Walk & Run 2024 is part of HighScope Indonesia's initiative to evolve into an EcoSocioTech (EST) School. This transition signifies a reinforcement of the school's commitment to providing education relevant to future challenges and opportunities. The event also partnered with Balikin, a service that reuses glasses to reduce single-use plastic waste.

Through innovation, sustainability, and environmental consciousness, HighScope Indonesia aims to cultivate a generation of young people with strong character, integrity, and an open mind, ready to contribute positively to society and a developing world.
