Who are we? ASEAN YOUTH ADVOCATES NETWORK
The ASEAN Youth Advocates Network is a youth-led international organization non-profit, socio-civic, and non-governmental organization that promotes civic education among youth and volunteerism as a means of advancing community and nation-building. Within the ASEAN area, AYAN envisions progressive communities established by the active engagement of its residents. The ASEAN Youth Advocates Network activities are strengthened by four fundamental pillars. The first is the Global Citizenship Education Pillar, which aims to educate society, particularly through the Sustainable Development Goals, as they become active participants in the community and nation-building processes. Second, the Democratic Engagement Pillar highlights the need of educating individuals about their rights and empowering them to put democratic ideas represented in the ASEAN area into reality. The third pillar is the Climate Alliance, which encourages citizens to to join hands in fighting climate change. Lastly is the Community and Wellbeing Pillar where member advocates and organizations are guided as they create projects centered on building progressive human-centered communities.
