5th UNESCO Asian Youth Forum

The main theme of the Forum will be "Challenges of Asian Youth - Identity, Voices, Change, and Future". The objective is to identify youth-related issues relevant to the Asian region and the new role of youth in Asian societies and communities as well as to find and support youth-driven initiatives to solve youth-related issues.

Participants will discuss as well the four following sub-themes:
1. "Youth Identity in Asia”: identity of youth in the Asian society and its necessary role in the region;
2. “Voices of Asian Youth”: ways through which youth can reach out to other members of society to solve problems that are specifically related to youth;
3. “Asian Youth Pursuing Change”: options that can be pursued by youth who are eager to explore different occupational and lifestyle pathways;
4. “Future of Asian Youth”: review of and recommendations about youth-led pilot projects that can be pursued after the Forum.

The results of the 5th UNESCO Asian Youth Form will inform the preparation of the 7th UNESCO Youth Forum which will be held in October 2011 at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris.
