Ever since the first Young People for Development Exchange and Training Program in Thailand in 2003, our aims have been as follows:
a) To bring young people together and encourage them to form peer YPD teams of their own with their friends and colleagues in their schools, universities, workplaces and communities;
b) To link these teams in a network of young actors for development in their own countries and in the local region, particularly in South East Asia (Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, Malaysia...);
c) To promote further action and training for the members of our network.
