Bilateral Youth Leaders Exchange Programmes (YLEP)

The YLEP is a key bilateral programme between NYC and youth focal point counterparts from ASEAN and China that aims to:

1. Enhance bilateral relations by strengthening understanding and solidarity among and between young leaders from both countries;
2. Forge a stronger understanding of and appreciation for national policies, systems, regional developments and bilateral relations; and
3. Promote substantive dialogues amongst participants and with thought-leaders from diverse 3P sectors.

During the programme, youth leaders are presented the opportunity to engage with senior policymakers and industry leaders and visit innovative and impactful organisations.

The YLEPs have fostered stronger ties between Singapore youth leaders and counterparts from Indonesia, Brunei, Malaysia, Vietnam, China and more.
