APEC Voices Of The Future 2009
|
Applications Closed
APEC Voices of the Future (VOF) 2009 will be held from 9 to 15 November 2009 in Singapore, in conjunction with the APEC 2009 summit meetings hosted by Singapore this year. An annual youth event for youth leaders in the APEC economies, VOF aims to provide a platform for youth leaders to engage government and business leaders on issues relevant to APEC.
VOF 2009 will bring together 120 youth delegates, aged 18 to 25, from 21 APEC economies to deliberate on and explore issues relevant to the theme of APEC 2009, “Sustaining Growth, Connecting the Region”. This theme reflects the continuing efforts of APEC to facilitate trade and investment in the Asia-Pacific region, efforts which have gained even greater importance in the face of a challenging global economic environment.
VOF 2009 is organised by the National Youth Council (NYC) in cooperation with the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports (MCYS) and the National Youth Achievement Award (NYAA) Council.
The tentative programme for VOF 2009 and the criteria for participation can be found
here.
All applications are coordinated by the youth focal points in the respective APEC economies. Interested applicants, please complete the application form and approach your national youth focal point for endorsement.
