The ASEAN
Symposium for Youth Leaders (ASYL) is a regional forum designed to equip
emerging leaders with insights, networks and practical perspectives on
governance and public policy. Convened by the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public
Policy (LKYSPP), this three-day flagship programme brings together youth
leaders from across ASEAN countries for networking and regional
collaboration.
The theme for this inaugural symposium is ASEAN Youth Leaders: Diverse Perspectives, Shared Future. The symposium is
centred on contemporary governance and public policy, and features keynote plenaries, facilitated dialogues and skills workshops led by
LKYSPP faculty and invited experts. You will experience curated learning
journeys offering a first-hand look at Singapore’s policy institutions, and
work alongside with fellow youth leaders from ASEAN to share perspectives
and co-create meaningful solutions to regional challenges. In addition, you will receive a
certificate of participation and gain access to LKYSPP’s network, extending
your engagement beyond the symposium.
Be part of a community of future regional leaders, deepen your understanding of policy in practice and become agents of change.
