We are expecting 60 - 80 youth delegates from around Asia and the Pacific including 20 Koreans.

Conference theme
“World Changing through Life Changing”

The gathering echoes the vision of people from all over Asia and the Pacific as they search for how their lives can be used to build harmony amongst the great diversity in the region. It aims to link every person with the common threads that bind us into a network that can bring change across nations through starting with change in our own lives.

Fee: The fee for the conference is US$400 to cover accommodation, food, conference materials and local transportation. Fees can be paid upon arrival to the conference. Scholarships are available upon
request.

Fundraising: The actual cost of the conference per person is US$500. Participation in an Asia Pacific Youth Conference for many will not be possible without financial assistance from outside sources. We would appreciate any fundraising help from your countries.
