Our vision is to create a world where youths exhibit a heightened interest in ASEAN through our activities that Empower YouthEngage, & Educate Communities to implement ideas that enable Positive Sustainable Change.”

CHINA-ASEAN COOPERATION
ABOUT

AYO-CHINA COOPERATION

Establishment of AYO China

The establishment of AYO-China Cooperation, dedicated to fostering cross-cultural unity and leveraging the collective power of young minds, is a testament to the transformative potential of international collaboration. Born from a shared vision to bridge the gap between ASEAN nations and China, this cooperative endeavor is a commitment to cultivating understanding, friendship, and impactful change among the youth. It unfolds as a narrative of hope, where young leaders from diverse backgrounds converge to build bridges, exchange ideas, and collectively contribute to regional and global progress. Through dialogues, initiatives, and joint projects, the cooperation emerges as a dynamic platform propelling youth toward a future of interconnectedness, cultural exchange, and shared ambitions for a brighter tomorrow.

Cooperation on Youth Development

ASEAN-China Cooperation on Youth Development is more than just a box to tick; it’s a strategic investment in a brighter future for both regions. By empowering and connecting young people, it cultivates a generation equipped to address shared challenges, navigate a globalized world, and ultimately build a more peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable future for ASEAN and China.

The future of ASEAN and China hinges on their vibrant young populations. Recognizing this, both regions have undertaken a robust collaboration focused on youth development. This partnership isn’t just about lip service; it’s a strategic investment in empowering the next generation.

The ASEAN Youth Organization plays a pivotal role in this dynamic. We act as catalysts for youth needs, ensuring their voices are heard and priorities are reflected in cooperation programs. By organizing events, training programs, and exchanges, they directly benefit young people across the region. Moreover, they bridge the gap between youth organizations, NGOs, and government agencies, amplifying the impact of this crucial partnership.

Establishment of the Chapter

Currently, AYO has a limited presence in China and establishing AYO China chapter will bridge and create a direct link between ASEAN and Chinese youth communities. This fosters deeper cultural understanding, facilitates knowledge exchange, and promotes collaboration on regional challenges, ultimately accelerating ASEAN integration through active youth participation.

 AYO China chapters provide a platform for Chinese youth to engage in ASEAN-related activities, develop leadership skills, and gain valuable insights into diverse cultures and perspectives. This empowers them to become bridge-builders, promoting ASEAN awareness and driving positive change within China, aligning with AYO’s mission of “By Youth, For Youth.”

By establishing AYO China chapters, the ASEAN Youth Organization takes a crucial step towards realizing its vision of a united and empowered ASEAN youth community. This strategic move fosters deeper regional cooperation, empowers the youth, and expands AYO’s impact, ultimately paving the way for a brighter and more connected future for all.

AYO Partnering with Chinese Institutions

Establishing AYO China chapters unlocks a wealth of resources and possibilities for the organization. Chinese youth offer diverse expertise, fresh perspectives, and a significant volunteer base, amplifying AYO’s reach and impact across its current programs and initiatives. Additionally, AYO China can leverage existing networks and partnerships within China to collaborate, expand program offerings, and amplify the organization’s voice on the global stage.

AYO has conducted meetings with many stakeholders in China to discuss the opportunity of collaborations and deepen the relation between China and ASEAN particularly on Youth Development Program.

If you are interested to collaborate with us, please email our Cooperation Representative for ASEAN China cooperation at dai@aseanyouth.net (Mr. Dai Shaoling) or isaac@aseanyouth.net (Mr. Isaac Kow)

The Asia Europe Foundation (ASEF) Youth Leadership Summit is a signature program for the Asia Europe Foundation in establishing the gap and connections between the young aspiring leaders of Asia and Europe in tackling the prevalent issues of the society. This year, the ASEF will hold its 5th Youth Leadership Summit in Salamanca Spain this September 12-16, 2023. The open calls for delegates across Asia and Europe will end this July 09, 2023.

In order to provide the best experience for the future delegates, the ASEF provided a capacity training towards the facilitators and navigators of the said summit. This year, the ASEF selected 20 participants across Asia and Europe to become a navigator in the upcoming summit. The navigators have diverse experience and background in different sectors and have several experiences working with the ASEF already. The ASEFYLS Navigators Training was held in Singapore last June 21-25, 2023. The trainings were mostly conducted under the Asia Europe Foundation Office in 31 Heng Mui Keng Terrace, Singapore. The program consists of trainings regarding leadership, program management, networking with alumni and fellow ASEF leaders from the past, establishing healthy communications and collaborative teamwork with a diverse people and introduction to Society 5.0.

Everyone is responsible to come to the hotel on their preferred transportation. The organizers have included ways on how to come to the hotel coming from the Changi Airport of Singapore. Hence, the program organizers did not include much activities on the first day as others came from the European countries. At 5:00 PM, most of the navigators arrived in V Hotel Bencoleen and was welcomed by the ASEF Team including Miss Freya Chow Paul and Miss Reka Tozsa. During the evening, the ASEF hosted a welcoming dinner in YWCA Café Lodge near the hotel to formally welcome everyone in Singapore. Furthermore, Miss Freya have also provided us the train cards to use as our transportation in going to several destinations included in the program.

Furthermore, he have also provided talks regarding accountability and keeping everyone intact during the program and how to lead a group that we are handling.

During this day, Dr. Paul Wang of NEC Asia Pacific Pte Ltd, talked about the concept of Society 5.0, which is coined by the Japanese wherein we see the future generation run forward by the technology. During the third day, we had an opportunity to have a roundtable dialogue about 5.0 with Ms. Geraldine LAM, the CEO of Social Impact Catalyst, Miss Liana Tang, Director of Digital Strategy Office in Ministry of Communications and Information in Singapore. The roundtable dialogue was moderated by Mr. Michael Klemm, the founder and managing director of Singapore Education Network. During the roundtable dialogue, the speakers discussed about future proofing society and tackling the role of technology in addressing social challenges, establishing multisector collaboration and providing solutions with the help of technology and the roles of the civil society in the Society 5.0.

On the fourth day of the program, the ASEF team invited Mr. Henrik Pap from the Organization Development Consultant, wherein he discussed about Design Thinking or also known as Design4x. During his session, there were a lot of training sessions where it allowed me to think effectively on how to launch a program or a product that we might want to launch for an organization. It taught us to be patient and further train ourselves to be very specific in what we want and the goals we wanted to achieve. During the whole session, we have observed what works and what does not work in collaborating with other nationalities, most especially those coming from the other region. The program was effective when it comes to dealing with pressure and creating a concept or project ideas and how to further develop it in the upcoming steps.

5. June 25, 2023

At the last day of the training program, the ASEF Organizers hosted a cultural facilitation for the navigators to further understand each other with regards to values and norms our respective country has.

  • The navigators were also provided the round trip flights to Singapore and a travel insurance. Furthermore, they also allotted allowance for the transportation from Changi Airport to Hotel and vice versa.
