U.S. Mission to the Philippines

Description

The Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in the Philippines announces an open competition for a cooperative agreement to develop and implement a five-day advanced leadership workshop (inclusive of arrival and departure days) in the Philippines for the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI), pending the availability of funds. During the 40th anniversary year of U.S. – ASEAN relations, the 2017 YSEALI Summit will bring together approximately 250 YSEALI exchange program alumni from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member countries for an advanced leadership workshop that will equip participants with the knowledge, attitude, and skills to address the complex and dynamic political, social, economic, and environmental issues that the U.S. and ASEAN will confront in the next 40 years. The workshop will develop participants’ leadership competencies in systems and design thinking, dialogue and negotiations, initiating and sustaining collaborative action, and other skills needed to advance participants’ leadership capacity and ability to develop systemic, innovative, and collaborative solutions to complex and dynamic problems. Participants will also discuss the role of youth and YSEALI in addressing ASEAN’s challenges and goals and in strengthening U.S. – ASEAN relations.
