ASEAN Young Green Communicator 2026

The ASEAN Young Green Communicators (AYGC) is a program designed to equip young people in Southeast Asia with a strong foundation in environmental issues, science communication skills, collaborative production practices, and responsible AI use. Through a combination of issue deepening led by Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) and applied communication training facilitated by The Conversation Indonesia (TCID), AYGC aims to nurture a new generation of credible, ethical, and impactful green communicators.

The programme will invite 12-18 selected youths to participate in a 2-day workshop and training on science communication to strengthen their understanding of plastic pollution issues in Southeast Asia, build practical skills in science communication through article writing and multiplatform content creation, and foster cross-disciplinary collaboration between writers and content creators.
