The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family (MOGEF), the Republic of Korea, in cooperation with the National Council of Youth Organizations in Korea (NCYOK), Korean Educational Psychology Association (KEPA), and the ASEAN University Network (AUN), are proud to announce the 2022 ASEAN Korea Youth Summit (AKYS) under the theme “Carbon Neutrality and ASEAN-Korea Youth”. The summit will be held in a hybrid format from 9 – 12 August 2022. 

Decades after ASEAN was established, ASEAN leaders recognised that there remained inadequate shared prosperity, ASEAN awareness and contact among people of ASEAN. It was because of this concern that ASEAN leaders established the ASEAN Foundation during the ASEAN 30th Anniversary Commemorative Summit in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia on 15 December 1997.

The Ryoichi Sasakawa Young Leaders Fellowship Fund, or Sylff, is a fellowship program initiated in 1987 to support students pursuing graduate studies in the humanities and social sciences. To date, endowments of $1 million each have been presented to 69 universities and consortia in 44 countries. About 16,000 students have received fellowships since the program’s launch, and many of these Sylff fellows have gone on to become leaders in various fields following graduation.
