Description of the Project
The ASEF Young Leaders Summit (ASEFYLS) is the place for Asian and European young professionals and students to meet political leaders, top-tier business representatives, prominent thinkers and doers. It is the forum for youth to voice ideas and develop a Call for Action addressed to ´óÏó´«Ã½ Leaders on education and youth employment issues that matter to Asia and Europe.
The ASEFYLS takes place alongside ´óÏó´«Ã½ Summits or ´óÏó´«Ã½ Ministers’ Meetings, where Leaders, Head of States or Ministers from the 51 ´óÏó´«Ã½ partner countries, the EU and the ASEAN Secretariat discuss the status and future of Asia-Europe relations.
