Facilitate education collaboration between youth, students, teachers & educators, higher education & EdTech experts with policy makers across Asia and Europe.
Education is one of ASEF’s key thematic areas. In this field, we connect multiple stakeholders across both regions. Through policy dialogues, capacity building and the creation of bi-regional networks, we contribute to innovation in the formal and non-formal education sector and towards the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN Agenda2030.
Education projects promote inclusive & equitable access across all education sectors and engage civil society and government stakeholders in interdisciplinary, technology-driven and lifelong learning opportunities to enhance quality education.
Further, we facilitate a structured dialogue between young people and decision-makers. ASEF’s education projects are part of the ASEM Education Process and their outcomes feed into the agenda of the ASEM Education Ministers’ Meetings (ASEMMEs).
Bringing together Teachers from Secondary & Vocational Schools for teacher capacity building and collaboration between the 2 regions.
Working with Higher Education Researchers, Managers, Policymakers & Student Organisations to facilitate the exchange of good practices and inform policies through evidence and policy dialogues.
Offering non-formal education opportunities through capacity building trainings and collaboration, as well as bringing the voice of youth to decision-makers.
The ASEF Classroom Network Project brings together Teachers from Secondary & Vocational Schools for teacher capacity building and collaboration between the 2 regions. The 16th ASEF Classroom Network project titled “Leading Change: Digital Transformation of Education in the Era of AI” in 2023 was a hybrid project and is took place both online and on-site in Ljubljana, Slovenia throughout 2023. It aimed to engage a diverse group of intergenerational participants to exchange knowledge and come up with innovative projects on using AI in Education – both secondary school teachers, as well as academics from Faculties of Education. In 2024, the 17th ASEF Classroom Network project titled “Learning about AI & Learning with AI” continues to engage stakeholders in two tracks: School Collaboration and Faculty Collaboration.

The ASEF Regional Conference on Higher Education (ARC) is the Official Dialogue Partner of the ASEM Education Ministers. In 2024, the 10th edition of ARC focused on the topic of “[Un]debated Ways of Rethinking Higher Education” through 4 sub-themes that explore what the ASEM Education Space hopes to achieve by 2030 and beyond where deeper global conversations are needed. Activities included a Debate Webinar Series, Policy Dialogue Sessions and contribution to Policy Events. ARC10 continues in 2025 with further Policy Dialogues. Read more about the project here.
The ASEF Higher Education Innovation Laboratories (ASEFInnoLab) project series is bringing together university managers to exchange knowledge, good practices and build new networks to take their work to the next level. In 2024, the 5th ASEF Higher Education Innovation Laboratory took place focusing on “Universities’ Role in AI Innovation Ecosystems”, online and in Shanghai, China. The fifth edition unfolded three subthemes to support universities in positioning themselves in AI Governance, AI in Education, and AI for Sustainable Development.
Our flagship youth project is the ASEF Young Leaders Summit (ASEFYLS), focusing on leadership capacity building and youth collaboration in Asia and Europe. In 2024 we organised two ASEFYLS Capacity Building Trainings focused on the topic of Leadership in Society 5.0. In the coming year, the 6th ASEF Young Leaders Summit (ASEFYLS6) will take place online and in Osaka, Japan, bringing together a new cohort of young leaders. Read more about the project here.
Previously organised programmes include:
I was impressed by the scope and multifaceted expertise that we were exposed to. It is a really beneficial initiative to bring together people from the academia, industry and independent organisations, from different cultures so as to experience cultural, social differences and also that we were enabled this way to understand what we have in common: our shared humanity.
