AIESEC NEPAL TO HOST ASIA PACIFIC LEADERS SUMMIT

While the ASIA PACIFIC LEADERS SUMMIT has already taken place in several locations worldwide, it will be the first one in Nepal in November 30 2016 to December 4 2016 in Dhulikhel Lodge Resort. APLS brings in young leaders from 24 countries together across Asia Pacific and opens a conversation between a cross section of youth, development professionals and business leaders with the intention of inciting social change. The main objective of the program  is to become a touch point between LCP (Local Committee President) current and Elect of AP(Asia Pacific) and AIESEC International which will help them plan, what to vision and how to execute their plans and how to shape their Local Committee in align with AIESEC 2020.

Among those 5 days, November 30 is the prime day for APLS, because of YOUTH SPEAK FORUM.

The initiative Youth for Global Goals which is powered by AIESEC, aims to achieve the leadership potential of young people around the world by engaging and mobilizing them through purposeful and cross-cultural projects around the globe. All projects are designed to support the implementation of the SDGs.
