The goal of the conference is to nurture young leaders to become global citizens at work and in their communities by:

  • Enhancing their awareness of the issues relating to diversity and inclusion among themselves locally, regionally and globally, using lessons learned in Malaysia and across the member-states of the ASEAN.
  • Imparting skills to them and providing them with the tools and frameworks to harness the potential of diversity, and to practice inclusion at work and in their community, by using the United Nations model with active deliberation and consensus-building.
  • Providing them with a supportive environment to personally experience the power and beauty of diversity and inclusion, with the intent of creating a movement for young moderates for global peaceful co-existence.
  • The outcome of the deliberations from the conference can also be shared and disseminated to various regional and international agencies, especially if the discourse is rendered into a form of a memorandum.

Since its inception in 2012, the Diversity & Inclusion Youth Camp (DIY Camp), inaugurated by Duli Yang Maha Mulia Raja Zarith Sofiah, Permaisuri Johor, has been organizing annual events and serving as a platform to educate and nurture future global citizens whose view about the world will be guided by the Concept of Moderation in thought and leadership, peaceful co-existence, democracy and rule of law within civil societies, and whose daily action will be demonstrated by how they appreciate, embrace and celebrate the Concept of Diversity and Inclusion.
