ASEAN-Italy Youth Conferenceabout
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.
TOPICS
Health & Covid-19 Response
Education & Innovation
Sustainability & Resilient Futures
Two phases:
01.

During the last week of this phase, two inspiring events are also planned, involving young leaders who actively dedicate themselves to the creation
and dissemination of opportunities for the youth.
