ULP 2021 will immerse youth leaders to the challenges of a developing country in the Asia-Pacific through a 12-day program of virtual lectures and workshops with proactive and interactive sessions on creativity, innovation, and empowerment together with local and international experts from the fields of Science and the Arts.

By joining the ULP 2021, youth leaders will gain a multifaceted perspective on achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the Asia-Pacific region and be equipped with necessary knowledge and skills on production of video blog or vlog and critical digital literacy which aims to develop active and engaged thinkers and creators in digital environments.

As an output for the program, youth leaders are expected to propose solutions to these emerging challenges by producing their own video blog or vlog.
