YLEC Chapter Japan
This book chapter will examine the pivotal role of Indonesian youth in fostering global cultural collaboration and leadership, as demonstrated through their involvement in the YLEC (Youth Leaders Exchange in Culture) Chapter Tokyo and Yokohama. With a focus on cultural exchange as a foundation for sustainable development, this chapter will highlight how the younger generation is uniquely positioned to lead in creating cross-cultural understanding and addressing global challenges.
As passionate change-makers, Indonesian youth bring energy, creativity, and a commitment to cultural heritage, enabling them to foster meaningful connections and contribute to sustainable, equitable progress. This chapter will delve into youth-led initiatives across three essential sub-themes within cultural exploration:
- Arts and Culture
- Technology and Digital Space
- Food and Social Change
This book chapter is expected to be a useful source of information for youth, stakeholders, and the wider community who want to understand and support the contribution of youth in global innovation for sustainable development in Indonesia.
