KASYP Marks 15 Years of Shaping Young Political Leaders in Asia

The Konrad Adenauer School for Young Politicians (KASYP), a flagship initiative of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung’s Regional Programme Political Dialogue Asia, will celebrate its 15th anniversary with a major alumni gathering in Singapore. Since its launch in 2010, KASYP has trained nearly 300 emerging political leaders from across Asia, equipping them with the skills, values, and networks needed to strengthen political parties and advance democratic governance in the region. This three-day event will feature engaging networking sessions where KASYP alumni can reconnect, exchange ideas, and explore new opportunities for collaboration. It will also provide a platform for the existing alumni organization — ADLA (Asian Democratic Leaders Alliance) — to hold its elections for new Country Representatives and Executive Board members. The election of the new Executive Board will ensure that ADLA continues to represent the collective voice of KASYP alumni, strengthen regional cooperation, and nurture the next generation of democratic leaders across Asia. Beyond formal sessions, the event aims to foster meaningful dialogue, celebrate shared achievements, and inspire alumni to contribute actively to the future of the KASYP network.
