APYS 2018
1st Asia Pacific Youth Leadership Summit 2018
Empowering Youth Initiatives in Fronting the IR 4.0 Challenges
11th-16th August
EDC Hotel Kuala Lumpur
Program Description
Utilizing the youth’s potential as the agents of change requires involving and empowering them in development, policies and supporting their participation at all levels. In the aspects of business sustainability, the youth has the potential to be the catalyst of change and innovation that will propel the organization in achieving success in their field. This has become a critical issue especially at the impending arrival of the Fourth Industry Revolution. Representing a majority of the population in most developing countries, the youth are visibly contributing as political actors, innovators, entrepreneurs and nation builders.
Coincidently, the youth are also being played by negative stigma surrounding their generation such as disproportionate social, economic and political barriers that inhibits their ability to unleash their full potential. It is imperative that this cohort of young people receive appropriate support and engagement as it determines the prospect of business sustainability in the future. In line with the critical role of youth in fronting the Fourth Industrial Revolution challenges, the Beta Gamma Sigma Chapter Universiti Utara Malaysia will be organizing the 1st Asia Pacific Youth Leadership Summit on 11 - 16 August 2018 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Program Objectives
- To be platform for undergraduate students to exchange the ideas and knowledge in the aspects of youth empowerment in fronting the Fourth Industry Revolution challenges.
- To provide international academic discourse experience for undergraduates.
- To strengthen the network among undergraduates from the Asia Pacific region and the rest of the world.
