Thank you for your interest to participate in the inaugural ASEAN Chevening Youth Forum that will be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on Saturday, 17 March 2018. All applicants are required to fill in the form as part of the selection process as seats are limited.

The forum aims to bring together up to 250 young future leaders and Chevening alumni members from across Southeast Asia to the ASEAN CYF platform to discuss insights, challenges and opportunities to the progress and development of ASEAN within the Sustainable Development Goals, after 50 years .

The ASEAN Chevening Youth Forum (ASEANCYF) jointly hosted by Chevening Alumni Malaysia and Chevening Alumni Brunei is a platform for Chevening alumni members from ASEAN to contribute to the development of the ASEAN region through engagements with the young future leaders in Southeast Asia. By leveraging on Chevening alumni expertise, experience and influence, we aspire to promote youth participation and leadership in areas such as economic development, environmental sustainability and youth development.

The ASEAN CYF is a spin off from the Brunei Chevening Youth Forum (BCYF) which has successfully engaged over 900 youth in over 8 forums and talk series since 2015.
