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 “Leadership in Action” project #11 “Leaders of the Future Bootcamp (LFB)” is an initiative organised by Global Shapers Islamabad, Solutions for a New Age in Pakistan and ASEFYLS4 project participants from over 10 ASEM countries. The LFB is a knowledge-sharing platform that consists of online & on-site workshops and trainings for students and young professionals, primarily in Pakistan but also target for youth based in other ASEM countries, on key areas identified by the World Economic Forum’s ‘Future of Jobs’ report: these include, amongst others, analytical & critical thinking, complex problem solving or design thinking.
The LFB main event takes place from 26-27 June 2021, 10:00-13:00 UTC, with subject matter experts & opinion leaders including:
- Ahmad Ashkar, CEO, Hult Prize
- Raheel Bodla, Success Coach & Ex-Tesla
