The youth of ASEAN hold the key to the region's future! As a venue for ASEAN youth to present their initiatives, the Youth Sustainable Project (YSUP) Competition 2024 is about to begin its third year this year.

In 2024, young people from Timor-Leste, a prospective ASEAN member, will also be eligible to apply. Young people from Timor-Leste and ASEAN member states will be asked to submit project nominations that fit the EU Global Gateway Strategy's strategic aims.

The organisation is asking young people from ASEAN countries to submit one-minute videos as project pitches for this competition. The European Union Delegation to ASEAN will give special prizes and free mentoring sessions by project specialists to ten of the outstanding video pitches.

Goals
