Calling All Students in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Southeast Asia! Shape the Future of Human Rights in Universities!
How might we envision and transform universities into inclusive, rights-based institutions that actively uphold diversity, equity, and human dignity?
The ASEAN Community Vision 2025 envisioned ASEAN as a peaceful, stable, and people-centered regional community. Building on this foundation, the ASEAN Community Vision 2045 aspires to create a resilient, dynamic, innovative, and people-centered community that fosters economic prosperity, social well-being, and environmental sustainability — all while upholding democracy, good governance, human rights, and the rule of law.
Higher education institutions have a crucial role to play in realizing this vision. Universities serve as catalysts for innovation and social change, making them key drivers in building a resilient and dynamic ASEAN community.
The ASEAN University Network – Human Rights Education (AUN-HRE), the Strengthening Human Rights and Peace Research and Education in Southeast Asia (SHAPE-SEA) Program and the Institute of Human Rights and Peace Studies (IHRP), Mahidol University, Thailand are launching an initiative to advance an integration of human rights and peace framework in higher education institutions in Southeast Asia.
In collaboration with the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR), we are calling for the participation of youth in envisioning inclusive and rights-based universities in Southeast Asia through a Vision Board competition.
The competition is open to undergraduate students enrolled in higher education institutions in Southeast Asia.
Open to individuals and groups (maximum of three members per team).

Submission deadline: July 30, 2025
