South Asia Youth Summit

Liberal Youth South Asia is organizing the first South Asia Youth Summit (SAYS) to provide a platform for youth to interact, debate and understand various issues confronting the region from a liberal perspective. SAYS'08 being an annual event, hosted by Centre for Public Policy Research (CPPR), envisions a democratic and peaceful South Asia with open boarders emphasizing the role of youth in reforming the society. Over the two-day schedule, the delegates would be exposed to a variety of stimulations, discussions and debates leading to the Summit Declaration and Plan of Action for the next year.

SAYS, designed to be an annual event, will be attended by 100 delegates from all over South Asia comprising youth representatives from the fields of politics, media, arts, law, business; students and academicians representing educational institutions /NGOs/ foundations; key administrators/officials from governmental agencies at the national, provincial and local level; conclave of youth political leaders, young social and business entrepreneurs and representatives of other international liberal organizations.

Over the two-day schedule, the delegates would be exposed to a variety of simulations, discussions and debates leading to the Summit Declaration and Plan of Action for the next year. Highlights of the summit include: Panel discussions and plenary sessions with South Asian experts from diverse fields, presentations by the young leaders and interactive discussions amongst participants facilitated by experienced moderators, 'Youth Chain' and lighting the lamp against terrorism near India Gate, New Delhi and musical concerts and cultural presentations by youth performers across South Asia.
