ASEAN-Italy youth conference

about

The project

In September 2020, during the 53rd Meeting of the Foreign Ministers of the Member Countries of ASEAN, Italy officially received the status of ASEAN Development Partner.

Global Action wants to welcome and celebrate such an important acknowledgment by organizing an online Youth Conference involving the Italian and ASEAN students, the ASEAN Embassies Rome-based and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The young delegates will deal with key topics common to both ASEAN and Italy, developing innovative and pioneering policies proposals. Students will draft their conclusions on the proposed topics in a Final Communiqué which will be presented to the ASEAN Embassies and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

two phases:

01.

Training

The first part will be entirely dedicated to the preparation and training of the young delegates, through a series of webinars held by international experts and institutions’ officials. The meetings will take place in the 4 weeks prior to the conference. During the last week, two Youth inspiring events are also planned, which will see the participation as speakers of young people who actively dedicate themselves to the creation and dissemination of opportunities for change and growth in their territories.

02.

Conference

The second phase will see the organization of an International Conference, from 7 to 8 April 2021. During the Conference, the young delegates from Italy and ASEAN countries will work together, virtually, on the drafting of concrete solutions and youth-oriented recommendations, aimed at strengthening the cooperation between Italy and the ASEAN countries in the 3 main areas of the conference. The delegates will elaborate a final communiqué which will then be delivered to the institutions and partners involved.
