PAS Young Leaders' Forum(PYLF)
As continuing globalization and interdependence shape the modern world today, it is up
to the young, emerging leaders of the new century to overlook the differences and administer
the formation of regional communities based on common interest and agendas.
PAS intend to initiate such movement to find common grounds for cooperation through free
exchange of ideas and opinions, leading to greater understanding and respect.  In this regard,
PAS invites future leaders from various countries to come to the Forum for intercultural
education that will eliminate superficial differences and promise better international relations
between all entities in the future.
 
Objectives
Raising future leaders
Promoting interchange
 
Activities

The Forum consists of lectures, open discussions, presentations, and various cultural

activities that will foster incentives for the participants to cooperate and work together to

achieve better international relations.  Even after completion of the program, the participants
are expected to continue to exchange their ideas and opinions on improving world relation
through email, homepages and other forms of communication.
