We are calling for participants for the “Take Actions for Social Change 2025” program, which brings together undergraduate students from ASEAN countries and Japan and encourages them to act with the common goal of co-creating a peaceful and better world towards 2050. CSEAS co-organizes this program with the Japan Foundation (JF) and ASEAN University Network (AUN) as part of global partnerships program, the Japan-ASEAN Youth Forum. The theme for 2025 is “Plastic Waste”. Participants will develop their own questions and explore the theme through online programmes, field trips to the Philippines and Japan, and other activities. Then, through dialogue with other team members, participants will create action plans to co-create a better world, and each team will present a report on the outcome.
