This publication provides real-life accounts of the achievements of ASEAN youth programmes and activities, including those involving our partners. These are presented to serve as inspiration and examples of youth engagement through an array of exciting activities such as camps, community immersion programmes, workshops, study visits, and even boat cruises!

Over the years, ASEAN has developed and implemented a variety of youth-focused initiatives. Many began as national youth development initiatives of the ASEAN Member States to address issues confronting young people. A number were designed and launched with ASEAN Dialogue Partners, United Nations agencies, and other international and regional partners. Some were also products of the creativity of our region's young people themselves, conducted through youth-led organisations affiliated with ASEAN and beyond.
