Through the cooperation of stakeholders from the oldest universities in Asia and in the United States – the University
of Santo Tomas and Harvard University, respectively – the younger generations will have another venue to foster
proactive leadership as they partake into solving the issues of globalization.
The Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations (HPAIR) of the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences organizes the largest annual student conferences in the Asia-Pacific Region since 1991. Since then, HPAIR has dedicated itself to provide a forum for emerging leaders in the academia, business, and government to tackle vital issues in Asia. In 2017, HPAIR has recognized the creation of the HPAIR Philippines Alumni Community (HPAIRPH) – an organization of Filipino youth leaders from different institutions who have earlier participated at HPAIR conferences in Cambridge or in a host Asian city, to build a more inclusive academic community, breaking cultural and geographic boundaries, and to further share the spirit of collaboration, innovation, and leadership. Thus, HPAIRPH has pioneered the ASEAN Youth Impact Challenge (AYIC) – a youth summit primarily catered to the issues of ASEAN.
The ASEAN
From a group of five countries united by fear of communism, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has now grown to become one of the most influential polities in the world. As it aims for integration among its current 10 member states, it has gained more prominence as its component members are heading the global economy. While Singapore is one of the four Asian Tigers, all Tiger Cub economies are ASEAN members – Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines. The World Economic Forum published a report showing that 4 of the 10 fastest growing economies are ASEAN member states – Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, and the Philippines.
This 2017, ASEAN celebrates its golden anniversary, and the Philippines, one of its pillar members, brimming with hospitality and pride, is fortunate to host this global benchmark occasion. World leaders shall grace the country to celebrate together with the people of ASEAN. Since its establishment, ASEAN practically became the world’s 6th largest economy, aiming to be the 4th largest in the world by 2030, and there is still a long way to go.
The AYIC
The Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations Philippines Alumni Community (HPAIR-PH), University of Santo Tomas Alumni Association, Inc. (UST-AAI), the Harvard Club of the Philippines, and Global Filipino Network (GFN) commit their consortium to pioneering the ASEAN Youth Impact Challenge Conference, an allsponsored, pay-it-forward youth summit. Applications are open until November 20, 2017 and the release of acceptance letters are expected to be on November 23, 2017.
The AYIC Conference 2017 proper will be held in Manila on November 27, 2017. The conference proper shall be held at the majestic campus of the University of Santo Tomas in España, Manila.
The conference was organized in line with the ASEAN anniversary, and the Philippines’ leadership of the event with the theme “Partnering for Change, Engaging the World”, which shall be inculcated in the three major conference panels: (1) socio-cultural; (2) economic community; and (3) political security.
The conference has invited several personalities to serve as speakers: COMELEC front Atty. James Jimenez, Mental Health lobbyist Renz Argao, startup CEO Paul Rivera, Chef Wado Siman, Voltaire Tupaz, Susan Ople, Bloomberg TV anchor Anthony Abad, and Multiple Intelligences pioneer Prof. Henry S. Tenedero, among others. The event shall be hosted by Mon Gualvez of News5.
