Target Participant : ASEAN Youth + Timor Leste Aged 15-35 years old
Type of program : Partially funded

The ASEAN Youth Forum (AYF) is envisioned to be a free and empowering platform for youths to voice out their concerns and strategize for ways to achieve a better ASEAN. AYF has been working regionally to strengthening youth movement, engagement with ASEAN, and civil society.

Throughout empowerment and engagement towards a youth-driven Southeast Asia approach, AYF provided space for young leaders to discuss issues, dialogue with various stakeholders and define their destinies with respect to their issues and realities. In last five years, the AYF has been organized in Thailand (2009), Vietnam (2010), Indonesia (2011), Cambodia (2012), Brunei Darussalam (2013), Burma (2014), and Malaysia (2015). It has already involved more than 500 young leaders from the Region and beyond.

Despite challenges and differences, members of the ASEAN youth were able to achieve these milestones:
  • Development and initial monitoring of the Yangon Declaration (ASEAN Youth Statement 2014),
  • Meaningfully participated at the 2014 and 2015 Youth Interface Meeting with ASEAN Leaders (ASEAN Summits in Nay Pyi Taw and Kuala Lumpur),
  • Forging engagements with the Youth Division of the ASEAN Secretariat and eventually with the Senior Official’s Meeting on Youth (SOMY).
Why Cambodia?

For 2016, Cambodia will be hosting the ASEAN Youth Forum in Siem Reap because it aims to coincide with the ASEAN Senior Officials Meeting on Youth which will also be held in the world renowned heritage city. It aims to increase the visibility of Southeast Asian young people at the ASEAN level and in affairs, to forge dialogues with SOMY officials to address issues related to rights and freedoms of every young person living in Southeast Asia. It responds to the call of engaging with the ASEAN bodies related to human rights (ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights and ASEAN Commission on the Protection of the Rights Women and Children) and youth (Senior Officials Meeting on Youth.) It shall be working closely with regional and national youth organizations in forging ways to work on concrete and rights-based policies on the following issues highlighted in the Yangon Declaration (ASEAN Youth Statement 2014) which included the following issues and recommendations:
·      Good Governance and Democracy
·      Migration
·      Decent Work
·      Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights
·      Sustainable Environment
·      Inclusive Education 

In this year the Cambodian national organizing committees have already formed of 16 youth organizations as coordinating committee, Media committee, Logistic committee, Fundraising and financial committee, documentation and reporting committee, Art performance and campaign committee. They will be supported and jointly organized by the ASEAN Youth Forum team members from ASEAN member states as Thailand, Myanmar, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, Vietnam, and Laos. The Cambodian national organizing committee had already established links with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, which is hosting the ASEAN Senior Officials Meeting on Youth (SOMY).

Call for Participants Peace Revolution Summit 2017

 Peace Revolution Summit 2017

Deadline : July 20th 2016
Date of event : February 6-10, 2017
Target participants : Young people aged 20-32 years old
Location : Thailand
Type of program : Partially funded for airfare ticket, and fully funded for accomodation and meals during event
Selection process : Series of selection with challenges to the participant candidates

Once in a lifetime opportunity to achieve inner peace and engage with fellow change-makers in Thailand (February 2017) in order to propose a new paradigm in peacemaking activism.

We live in a time where conquering and keeping sustainable peace appears to be a challenge that is hard to achieve. Constant conflicts occur at different scales in the world, which inevitably obstruct attempts to establish peace processes. Although living in peace is a common and widespread interest, it seems that we are increasingly unable to do so.

But, what prevents us from achieving peace? The great conflicts that threaten our time are often so complex that they escape our understanding and even the ability to see a possible solution to them. However, what would you think if you were told that the origin of all these problems is simpler than it seems and that its solution therefore, also should be easier to achieve? Would you believe the fact that the key to a peaceful life lies within each and every one of us as individuals?

We aim to create a unique opportunity to gather a thriving global community of peace activists and visionaries from different fields, such as entrepreneurs, artists, philanthropists, photographers, filmmakers, bloggers, scholars, teachers, students, civil society and professionals, in order to share their stories, brainstorm ideas, launch initiatives, and share an unforgettable experience of solidarity in unfolding our vision of world peace.

Apply for Peace Revolution Summit 2017 that will bring about a disruptive idea that peacebuilding starts from within and discuss the ways of achieving and sustaining inner peace in order to “Empower minds for a sustainable future”. PRS 2017 is a unique global gathering organized by World Peace Initiative Foundation that  will gather like minded individuals to empower, network and inspire.

OPEN REGISTRATION FOR PARTICIPANTS OF US-YES Indonesia 2016



Dear future leaders, Harvard Business Review (1985) reminded us about short tips on how we should formulate our initiative plan. Many initiative plans were formulated by focusing more on the producer (you, your proposed products, and technology) but losing attention at financial viability (markets - demonstrating user benefit, identifying marketplace interest, and documenting market claims - and investors - how they invest and divest, the sound projections, the investing price decision, and the development stages of making the initiatives happen).

So what are you waiting for?
Practice your initiative plan by registering at US-YES here!
