Deadline: 9th July 2023 | A youth platform that connects young people with the Decision-Makers and Leaders from Asian & European countries.
The 5th ASEF Young Leaders Summit (ASEFYLS5) takes place from August to December 2023. It focuses on the theme of ‘Leadership & Society 5.0’ and incorporates 3 spheres for youth leadership: 1) self-leadership (you), 2) team leadership (we) and 3) societal leadership (all).
The 5th edition was a hybrid project with collaborative elements taking place online and in Salamanca, Spain.
It aims to give youth the opportunity to:
- Receive a certified course/training by world-leading institutions on both Leadership and Society 5.0
