What is ASEAN Youth Exchange?

ASEAN Youth Exchange is one of AYO’s signature programs that aims to promote inter-cultural ties in ASEAN encouraging cross-country collaboration for mobilization of like minded youth to create a sustainable impact. It encourages participants to explore and use the best possible solution to tackle the issues in their community. This program aims to give participants the most significant possible exposure by providing site visits to various places that give inspiration to participants. Our previous AYE has been successfully implemented in Myanmar, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and South Korea (Online).
