ASEAN Symposium for Youth Leaders 2026

The ASEAN Symposium for Youth Leaders (ASYL) is a regional forum designed to equip emerging leaders with insights, networks and practical perspectives on governance and public policy. Convened by the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKYSPP), this three-day flagship programme brings together youth leaders from across ASEAN countries for networking and regional collaboration. The theme for this inaugural symposium is ASEAN Youth Leaders: Diverse Perspectives, Shared Future. The symposium is centred on contemporary governance and public policy, and features keynote plenaries, facilitated dialogues and skills workshops led by LKYSPP faculty and invited experts. You will experience curated learning journeys offering a first-hand look at Singapore’s policy institutions, and work alongside with fellow youth leaders from ASEAN to share perspectives and co-create meaningful solutions to regional challenges. In addition, you will receive a certificate of participation and gain access to LKYSPP’s network, extending your engagement beyond the symposium.
