The Asia Union Leaders Summit 2018 is an international program designed for high school, college, and university youth to meaningfully tackle emerging leadership challenges the region is facing. It is modeled after the U.S. Congress and Law Making and adaptive leadership courses at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government; it uses Stanford’s design thinking approach and is influenced by the Model UN Simulation. The evolution of The Asia Union Leaders Summit is grounded on the learnings from the past three Trilateral Leadership Summit (TLS) programs, as well as the Asia Union Leaders Summit in 2017, which our Center has organized in response to the changing geopolitical and socioeconomic landscape of Asia.

The Summit is a paid program where participants will bear the program fees of USD1,250 and return flight ticket to/from South Korea. The program fee covers accommodation, meals and on-ground transportation from July 23-27, 2018.
