The AUN and ASEAN+3 Educational Forum and Young Speakers’ Contest is one of the AUN’s three major flagship initiatives for youth development. The Educational Forum and Young Speakers’ Contest, previously held separately, are two distinct and simultaneously-held activities that feed into one another. The Educational Forum offers a platform for ASEAN+3 youth to discover and practice policy making on the region’s most pressing concerns. The Young Speakers’ Contest gives voice best speakers to make their case to the region’s brightest young minds.
