COMPETITION OVERVIEW

The AFSL 2023 competition aims to provide better exposure to the younger community, schools, colleges, universities through SDG-related cases, testing their skills via five-minute video, pitching, and question-and-answer sessions.

It is expected that this platform will train and develop young leaders towards a role that will bring a positive impact on society. Schools and universities will benefit from participating in the AFSL with an opportunity to showcase themselves as leading educational institutions towards producing job-ready young professionals with cutting-edge skills.

This competition is also a catalyst for the engagement of ASEAN countries in providing experience to our students, with a possibility of exchange programs. This will definitely contribute towards student experience. In conclusion, AFSL 2023 will help to produce the next generation of leaders with skills and experiences based on SDGs.

OBJECTIVES

To form a network for future regional collaborations that will continuously develop platforms to take action for the SDGs.
To challenge and instil the spirit of competitiveness amongst participants in leading the initiative towards a sustainable and impactful change to society.
To provide a learning experience that propels participants towards appreciating the array of different cultural and community perspectives.
