The Asia-Pacific Youth Exchange (APYE) is a program that responds to the global necessity of meaningfully including young people in SDG activities. By simulating policy formulation and project execution centered on SDGs, youth delegates have a unique opportunity to learn and hone the skills necessary to participate in sustainable development. Moreover, APYE is also an avenue for the youth sector to skill up and participate in the formal economy. To achieve this, the APYE has three main phases:
- Leadership Development Training,
- Local Immersion and
- Asia Pacific Youth Symposium.
After four successful APYE programs in the Philippines and Thailand, the Urban Youth Academy, Asian Development Bank, United Nations and several other partners come together once again to make the program better! The fourth iteration of the APYE in the Philippines aims to become more action-oriented. 150 delegates from the Asia and the Pacific region are expected to participate.
