FAQ AYEF 2023
If you are selected as full-funded or partial-funded delegates, you must participate in the entire program sequence (for six days). However, if you only want to participate in one program, you can register for the Public Forum which will be held on 17 March 2023 in Jakarta
There is no registration fee for this program.
If you register for the Public Forum, you only have to fill out the registration form and the survey form listed on the website. However, if you want to register for full-funded or partial-funded delegates, you must submit a CV, Recommendation Letter, and complete the registration form. For further information, you can access aseanyouth.net/ayef.
A background related to the environment, circular economy, or policy-making would be a plus, but anyone with any background can still register for this program!
Make sure you complete all administrative requirements and register not close to the deadline to minimize the risk of interruptions in accessing the website due to the high number of users accessing the registration form page. Apart from that, you can also use essay questions in the registration form as a medium to show your high interest in being involved in this program and how realistic and strategic follow-up plans you will do after the program ends.
Yes, of course! If you don’t qualify for the fully-funded program, you can be automatically on the waiting list for the partially-funded program.
Fully funded will cover all the needs during the program; hotel, meals, meeting package, merchandise, local transportation, airport transfer, and site visit. Meanwhile, partially funded will not cover the flight ticket.
You can, but we only cover flights from ASEAN countries or Japan. Outside these countries, you have to cover the flight ticket (partially funded).
