Applications are open for the ASEFYLS Capacity Buildings 2024. The ASEFYLS Capacity Buildings welcomes 80 youth leaders from Asia and Europe, with diverse academic disciplines and professional backgrounds to learn more about Leadership and Society 5.0.
The ASEF Young Leaders Summit (ASEFYLS) is a Youth platform that connects young people across Asia & Europe, applying a 360 degree approach on leadership development and community engagement: self-leadership (you), team leadership (we) and societal leadership (all).
The Society 5.0 concept describes a human-centered society that balances economic advancement with the resolution of social problems by a system that highly integrates cyberspace and physical space. ASEFYLS will explore what kind of leadership is needed for Society 5.0 and how young people can prepare for an ethical, sustainable and digital future.
