Selection of Participants

The Youth Forum aims to bring together multi-disciplinary of young people across the ASEAN region who are interested in the field of criminal justice, ideally at least two youth representatives from each country. Eligible participants will be between the ages of 18 to 25 years. The goal is to achieve a group of participant representatives of a diverse constituency and background.

Objectives

I. Empower Youth Community: The overarching vision is to effectively educate and increase the collaborative capacity of youth in the ASEAN region on a continual basis. By providing a platform to voice perspectives, this forum aims to amplify youth voices and perspectives in the development of sustainable solutions.
II. Promote Cross-Generational Dialogue: In line with the emphasis on cross-pillar and cross-sectoral coordination, this forum takes one step further by encouraging cross-generational coordination. Acknowledging the unique experiences and perspectives across different generations, this forum will strive to bridge the collaboration gap between generations in an effort to foster an open dialogue.
III. Enhance Collaboration: This forum will serve to provide a platform for ongoing collaborative efforts in crime prevention and criminal justice reform. It provides an environment for youth from different countries to network with like minded individuals, exchange practices, discuss
challenges, and jointly identify solutions.
IV. Foster ‘unity in diversity’: At the heart of this forum is the aim of fostering a sense of inclusion. This forum recognizes that sustainable outcomes will not be achieved unless all voices of the population are given weight, especially that of the younger generation from different backgrounds.
