The 16th ASEAN-Korea Future-Oriented Youth Exchange Programme: ASEAN-Korea Youth Square

The 16^th ASEAN-Korea Future-Oriented Youth Exchange Programme: ASEAN-Korea Youth Square invites youths from ASEAN member states and Korea to present their cultures and history through sports activities. Participants are given an opportunity to be inspired and motivated to formulate future, building a great foundation of Pan-Asian community in the global society.

The  theme  of  The  16^th  ASEAN-Korea  Future-Oriented  Youth  Exchange  Programme: ASEAN-Korea Youth Square is ASEAN-Korea Youths, United as One Through Sport Activities. This year’s theme was decided in support of the upcoming 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. As sports transcend cultures and language barriers, this programme hopes to unite ASEAN-Korea youths together and inculcate them with the Olympic Spirit through sports activities. In addition, as the programme will be held during winter,  it will be  a good  experience  for  ASEAN  youths  from  tropical  countries  to experience winter sports.

Participants are required to participate and respond actively prior to and during the programme that is organized and monitored by relevant experts (resource persons) and qualified staff. In addition to the sports activities, participants are invited to work in teams for various activities, inspire each other and forge the Asian spirit for a better future.
