The Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok Thailand invites grant proposals of up to $250,000 to develop and manage a four-day workshop on the theme of education as part of President Obama’s Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI). The initiative aims to bring together young Southeast Asian leaders to help them work across ASEAN borders to solve common issues including economic development, education, environmental protection, and civic engagement.
This workshop will bring together a minimum of 60 young leaders (ages 18-30) from all ten member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The length of grant will be for one year with an expected date of December 13-16, 2015. By the end of the workshop, participants should:

- Understand the importance of developing and using critical thinking skills to address global challenges.
- Identify the skills and abilities associated with a 21st century ASEAN labor force, including such skills as communicative English, vocational skills, versatility, creativity, analytical thinking, cross-cultural skills, etc., and be able to develop a proposal to improve one or more of these skills in their home country or community.
