ASEF, in partnership with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Culture of Indonesia, with the support of the Yogyakarta Royal Palace, Regional Government of the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Sonobudoyo Museum, ArtJog Festival and UNESCO Jakarta, are co-organising the third edition of ASEF LinkUp | Asia-Europe Cultural Diplomacy Lab, in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, from 18 to 21 June 2025.
Under the theme “Rethinking Cultural Diplomacy Together“, the 2025 edition of ASEF LinkUp draws inspiration from “gotong royong”, the Indonesian ethos of cooperation and mutual support. This year’s edition builds on the recommendations from the second edition of ASEF LinkUp, delving into the importance of shared efforts, inclusive partnerships and participation in cultural diplomacy.
ASEF LinkUp 2025 will serve as a meeting point for 20 selected participants from the cultural and government sectors to combine knowledge and approaches from Asia and Europe and broaden perspectives on cross-regional relations.
All participants for this programme are co-selected by both organisers and are by invitation only.
