The Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy Jakarta of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for a cooperative agreement to develop and implement a Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) Regional Workshop on the theme of Sustainable and Inclusive Cultural Tourism in a Post-COVID World. The six-day workshop (inclusive of arrival and departure days) in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, will highlight how the cultural tourism sector can rebuild in a sustainable and inclusive way after COVID-19 disruptions to the tourism industry. The workshop will take place in July 2024. Please carefully follow all instructions below. Priority Region: Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Laos, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and Timor-Leste. Program Objectives: YSEALI (yseali.state.gov) is the U.S. government’s signature initiative to engage emerging leaders in Southeast Asia. The program aims to create a network of young Southeast Asian leaders who work across national borders to solve common problems. Through a variety of programs and engagements, YSEALI seeks to build the leadership capabilities of youth in the region, strengthen ties between the United States and Southeast Asia, and nurture a community of leaders who work across borders to solve shared issues. YSEALI is open to young leaders ages 18-35 who are both citizens and residents of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member countries (Brunei, Burma, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam) or Timor-Leste. Responding to priorities from youth in the ASEAN region, YSEALI programs focus on four themes (Civic Engagement, Economic Empowerment and Social Entrepreneurship, Education and Environmental Issues). One component of YSEALI are the annual Regional Workshops held across Southeast Asia on strategic topics. This regional workshop: Sustainable and Inclusive Cultural Tourism in a Post-COVID World will advance the YSEALI theme of Economic Development and Civic Engagement and U.S. Embassy Jakarta strategic goals by examining ways cultural tourism sector can recover from COVID-19 disruptions in environmentally sustainable ways and inclusive of those with disabilities and minority communities. Many ASEAN countries and Timor Leste rely heavily on cultural tourism for economic development and young people play an important role in the tourism sector.
