How to Apply


Submit a videoed country position statement responding to ‘digital connectivity’.


The Asia Education Foundation is now inviting Year 9-11 students, in teams of six, who wish to participate in the Australia-ASEAN Youth Forum to submit a two-minute video responding to ‘digital connectivity’ from the perspective of one of the ASEAN member states or Australia.

If selected, your school team along with one staff member will be brought to Sydney for the program, with flights and accommodation covered as part of your ASEAN experience. There, your team will take part in an interactive youth forum with delegates from around Australia, linked via video with peers in Indonesia, Thailand, and Singapore. 

Only 11 Australian school teams can attend this program, one for each member of ASEAN, including Australia.
