The EAS Youth Forum: Empowering Young People by Informing, Inspiring and Involving
How do you get 45 young people from 10 countries, together for 5 days, to focus on a not-so-cool topic for youngsters — the sustainability of the marine environment? Would having them mix and mingle with lead scientists, CEOs, policymakers and leaders from within and outside the East Asian region participating in the East Asian Seas Congress 2006 bring forth something good to the region’s marine heritage?
