About the project
This project is aimed at young and politically engaged individuals from the Indo-Pacific region to engage in a dialogue format to discuss regional challenges faced by their generation. The outcome of two in-person workshop sessions, guided by a professor of political science, and several months of self-organised group discussion are policy papers, published in a collection after successful completion of the programme.
The 'Visions of the Next Generation' project started in 2026 and is intended to be conducted annually. The topic of this first cohort of 2026 is youth political participation. All content has been reviewed by an academic and corrected by professional proofreading services.
