YPFPPP 2026 (ISEAS Edition)

​The Youth Public-Foreign Policy Pipeline Programme (YPFPPP), supported by the National Youth Council Singapore, seeks to nurture globally-minded youth citizens who contribute meaningfully to conversations surrounding international affairs.

​Partnering with the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute, the 2026 iteration invites participants to explore climate change and sustainable development through an ASEAN lens.

​Through expert-led sharing sessions, interactive discussions and collaborative breakout activities, participants will critically examine how Singapore and its youths can contribute towards building more sustainable climate initiatives across Southeast Asia, and thus recognise the role of academia in shaping public policy.

​Light refreshments will be provided.
