The Youth Department of the Council of Europe has long-standing tradition of bringing together young people from Europe and other regions of the world for exchange and learning on issues of common concern.
Building on this tradition, the training seminar on youth, digitalisation and intercultural dialogue will bring together young people who live in both Europe and Asia.
The training seminar is organised in partnership with the Asia Europe Foundation (ASEF), an intergovernmental non-profit organisation focusing on cooperation between people from the two regions. Specifically, it is run as part of the ASEF Young Leaders Summit (ASEFYLS), a Youth platform that connects young people from Asia and Europe.
The training is part of a broader training process run by ASEFYLS and partners (ASEFYLS Capacity Buildings).
Aim
To support youth from Europe and Asia regions to explore, in an intercultural context, the most pressing issues related to technological developments, reflect on their implications on society and their own role within it.
