What is YSEALI Program?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

YSEALI (Youth Southeast Asian Leadership Initiative) is a youth program run by the United States government to develop the leadership skills of young people in Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Vietnam, Myanmar, Thailand, the Philippines, Cambodia, Laos, Singapore, and Timor-Leste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are various programs from YSEALI, such as YSEALI Professional Fellow, YSEALI Seeds for the Future Grants, and YSEALI Regional Workshops. These programs focus on four main themes: Civic Engagement, Sustainable Development, Education, and Economic Growth. These YSEALI programs are generally intended for those of you who are 18-35 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YSEALI Regional Workshop 2019 Program<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In August 2019, I had the opportunity to attend the YSEALI Regional Workshop with the theme Empowering Southeast Asian Educators.<\/em> The event was really fun! Curious? Let's continue reading!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the Program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The workshop gathered 100 participants aged 18\u201335 from 11 Southeast Asian countries. The participants included teachers, lecturers, students, NGO representatives, education volunteers, and experts. The goal was to improve competency as educators, discuss education issues, and design projects that could help address these issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Location and Event Form<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The event was held in hybrid mode<\/em>. The onsite mode onsite<\/em> took place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, precisely at the Pullman Hotel, where participants stayed. Participants used the hotel's meeting room to discuss and visit several interesting places in Kuala Lumpur. Before and after the workshop onsite<\/em>, participants also discussed online via the Learning Management System (LMS), Facebook, and WhatsApp groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You may think that joining a program like this requires a lot of money, from plane tickets, accommodation, food, and transportation for a week. But the good news is, everything covered by<\/strong> YSEALI! Participants do not need to pay for airfare, hotel, food, or transportation during the event. Even food is provided during the flight, and we also get pocket money during field trips. Transportation to and from the airport in Malaysia is provided by the committee. However, travel costs from home to the airport in the participant's home country are the responsibility of each individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During five days in Kuala Lumpur, we did various exciting activities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
