Wawasan kebangsaan pemuda perlu ditingkatkan terkait dengan globalisasi yang kian menggerus jati diri bangsa dan mengancam berkembangnya rasa primordialisme kedaerahan yang menjadi ancaman disintegrasi antar daerah. Hal tersebut terjadi antara lain akibat kurangnya interaksi antar pemuda daerah, pemahaman wawasan nusantara dan ragam budaya.
Dalam rangka mendukung terciptanya kondisi yang memungkinkan pemuda Indonesia untuk dapat saling memahami keberagaman budaya tersebut sekaligus memberikan ruang untuk bertukar gagasan mengenai kontribusi pemuda dan mempelajari pengelolaan potensi sumber daya alam yang berkelanjutan, Kementrian Pemuda dan Olahraga Republik Indonesia memberikan suatu wadah yaitu Kapal Pemuda Nusantara. Program ini merupakan kegiatan peningakatan kapasitas pemuda yang dilaksanakan setiap tahunnya dengan berlayar menuju kepulauan tertentu untuk mencapai visi percepatan pembangunan daerah.
Pada tahun 2016, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta mengirimkan tiga perwakilannnya yang terdiri atas satu perwakilan putri yaitu Merlangen Enfani Harismina, dan dua perwakilan putra yaitu Keenan Mukti SSN dan Muhammad Ikhlasul Amal. Pelayaran yang dilakukan mengarungi Selat Karimata saat itu menekankan pada peningktan kesadaran pemuda untuk mulai melakukan aksi nyata yang langsung bermanfaat pada masyarakat. Kegitan yang dilakukan antara lain pembentukan karakter pemuda yang didampingi langsung oleh satuan tugas dari KOPASSUS, pelaksanaan bakti sosial, pentas seni, kelas inspirasi untuk sekolah-sekolah setempat, dan advokasi mengenai usulan pembangunan Kayong Utara untuk Gubernur Kalimantan Barat.
Pada tahun ini, program Kapal Pemuda Nusantara akan melakukan pelayaran ke Sabang Daerah Istimewa Aceh. Melalui Balai Pemuda dan Olahraga Disdikpora DIY, akan dipilih perwakilan putra-putri daerah terbaik yang dapat merepresentasikan budaya daerah dan berkeinginan kuat untuk berkontribusi pada daerah melalui program ini. Pendaftaran seleksi Kapal Pemuda Nusantara Sail Sabang 2017 akan dimulai sejak 10 Maret 2017 hingga 1 April 2017. Seleksi ini terdiri atas tiga tahapan, yaitu: 1) Seleksi berkas/administrasi, 2) seleksi wawancara, dan 3) seleksi karantina. Persyaratan peserta yang harus diperhatikan antara lain:

Much evidence shows that there is a trend of global urbanization in that people are increasingly moving to cities worldwide, in particular in China and Asia. For example, in 2007 the number of people living in cities in the world for the first time exceeds that residing in rural areas. This process of rapid global urbanization causes thorny problems in cities that are unprecedented to deal with. Together with worldwide challenges, such as global climate change, city planners and managers are faced with urban problems of various scales that require innovative, effective decision skills to resolve. Put differently, the planning of cities must be complemented by the governing of cities in order for city planners and managers to work together to cope with the unprecedented urban challenges. Urban governance that incorporates plans, regulations, and administration for cities thus provides an interdisciplinary platform that helps city planners and managers to enhance their decision skills in governing cities.
