Students, young leaders join Asean youth forum

SOME 100 students and young leaders from several colleges and universities across the country attended the first-ever “Asean Youth Dialogues” that tackled the positive impact of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations’ (Asean) integration on Filipino youth.

Organized by five Filipino youth alumni of the United States Department of State’s exchange programs and members of the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative, the AseanYouth Dialogues is a series of conferences aimed at engaging young leaders and students in discussions to help them better understand the implications of Asean’s upcoming integration by 2015.
