Welcome to the 2022 YSEALI Regional Workshop on Civic Education for Good Governance!

The U.S. Embassy in the Philippines, in partnership with Cultural Vistas, will host the 2022 YSEALI Regional Workshop: Guardians of Good Governance. This fully-funded workshop will include young leaders working on civic education to promote civic participation, good governance, and transparency and accountability in government in ten ASEAN nations and Timor-Leste. The experience will consist of pre-workshop virtual activities offering background on civic education theory, lifelong learning, and best practices in digital engagement strategies; a four-day workshop in Manila, Philippines; and post-workshop virtual engagement to support the implementation of post-workshop activities. The goal is for participants to develop a deep understanding of how their efforts can promote citizen engagement in their home communities, nations, and across the region.
