The award recipient will be responsible for planning and administering all components and aspects of a youth-focused YSEALI Summit to take place in-person – if regional health and travel conditions allow – in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei Darussalam, in June 2022. If conditions do not allow for an entirely in-person summit, the award recipient would need to adapt the proposed scope of work to fit either a partially in-person, partially virtual/in-person hybrid event, or an entirely virtual event.
The YSEALI summit should include the following aspects:
Interaction among YSEALI participants and senior U.S. government officials; U.S. environmental, business and civil society leaders; and dynamic young leaders from Brunei, plus the ASEAN region and Timor-Leste
Motivational presentations including discussions with emerging and established leaders in the region with an optimistic, empowering view toward the future of youth and climate
Integration of YSEALI and alumni of U.S. government exchange programs to serve as speakers, panelists, and/or activity leads
Opportunities for YSEALI participants to engage with each other and put into practice what they have learned through the YSEALI pillars
Experiential learning and team collaboration activities involving the natural world to cultivate a visceral connection with climate and foster leadership skills
An emphasis on building ties across ASEAN and Southeast Asia as well as with the United States. Discussions on the importance of cross-border ties to advance human capital development
In addition, the YSEALI Summit’s content should include elements of cultural exchange and be demographically appropriate, relevant, and original in presentation as well as in the choice of speakers, venues, and partner institutions. Proposals will be evaluated based on creativity, innovation, connectivity, originality, inclusivity, and logical continuity. Proposals will be also evaluated based on direct links between the proposed activities and the YSEALI Summit’s theme and YSEALI pillars. Proposals should include a high level of involvement by YSEALI alumni and members in the summit’s schedule as speakers and facilitators in order to be considered.
