The 4th ASEF Young Leaders Summit focuses on ‘Sustainable Development in a post-COVID-19 World’ and incorporates 3 spheres for youth leadership: 1) self-leadership (you), 2) team leadership (we) and 3) societal leadership (all). To demonstrate the youth’s role in driving Sustainable Development, the programme encourages participants to collaborate & volunteer on meaningful community projects with an Asia-Europe twist. Based on the four ASEFYLS4 focus areas (SDG3, SDG4, SDG8 and SDG13), participants are allocated to specific working groups and work on “Leadership in Action” activities. In total, the ASEFYLS4 facilitates 15 community projects, each led by 1 ASEFYLS4 Navigator and supported by up to 10 participants from different Asian & European countries.
The project “You Are Not Alone (Y.A.N.A) Project Cambodia” aims to provide mental health education & services accessible to people in need in Cambodia through an online information platform.
The project will work on three areas:
1) Reaching out to Cambodian youth to research the perspectives and current understanding of Mental Health and Well-being in Cambodia
2) Develop an online platform and create content focusing on mental health and physical & mental well-being
3) Organise a digital event series for students & young professionals on mental health & well-being
You can read more about the project in the Brief here.
The team are currently calling for Young Cambodians living in Cambodia to anonymously share their perspectives and experiences on Mental Health and Well-being through a survey. This research will feed into the design of the platform and events.
