On Thursday, 6 August 2026, 10 finalists from across ASEAN came together to showcase the power of ASEAN youth voices. They shared their thoughts and perspectives on the region’s future, exploring diverse contexts including shifting demographics and societies, as well as persistent inequalities in access to essential resources such as education.
A huge congratulations to our winner, Ms. Thet Tant Eain from Myanmar.
She delivered a powerful message that truly resonated:
"The lack of access to education for youth could lead to a shortage of skilled and creative workers, and ultimately, future regional leaders."
Her words remind us that investing in youth is not optional—it is essential. By empowering young people with equal opportunities to learn, grow, and lead, we can help shape a stronger and more inclusive ASEAN for generations to come.
One Vision, One Identity, One Community.
