We all know that any nation’s hope lies in its young. The following event, organised by Sepakat, looks at young Malaysians already doing great work for the country, and is open to all - especially those even younger (and however much older) who are looking to learn from their example.
This was supposed to be launched earlier, but my being ill a few days held a lot of things up :( To help pick up the slack, we’re gonna need your help to spread the word everywhere!
Despite best efforts, the event website is not fully ready yet, but I wanted to blog it first to get this out there before hitting the weekend. Would greatly appreciate it if you were to check back tomorrow, where we should’ve launched the website and a more active outreach campaign - we’re really gonna need your help.
Thank you everyone!!
Youth to Youth: For a Better Malaysia
This dual-language forum, for youth and by youth, intends to showcase young Malaysians who are making Malaysia a better place to younger Malaysians who are looking to do the same.
Accomplished Malaysian youth from various sectors will provide insight, guidance and networking opportunities to Malaysians only a few years younger than them, in the hope of building relationships and bonds that will result in a stronger, more united group of young people empowered to continuously improve Malaysia.
The forum also hopes to bridge the widening gap between Malaysians who study in different countries overseas and local students by providing a shared opportunity to exchange views and better understand diverse perspectives.
