SEAYouth Festival Publication

The publication highlighted the sessions of the Festival which are designed to identify the underlying issues and recommendations for each of the topics that became the foundation for drafting the Youth Collective Statement. It also highlights other sessions that are designed for networking, showcasing artworks, and highlighting youth activism. 

As an organization that functions as a forum for young people to convey their concerns and perspectives, AYF has been a constant champion of creating an atmosphere of a safe space for young people, so that they have a chance to interact and mobilize their activism. With the back-to-back effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Myanmar military coup crisis, supporting young people to mobilize themselves was critical in building regional solidarity.

The SEAYouth Festival became the venue in which youth activism and advocacy are supported and elevated. Thus, as part of the organization’s efforts to ensure that the spirit and knowledge received from the 2021 Festival are intact, the publication of the 2021 SEAYouth Festival was created.
