Dear Colleagues,

As earlier announced in the APAY e-News, the 4th Asia Pacific Students and Youth Gathering (ASYG) will be held on 25-31 August 2008 in Korea.

This quadrennial programme of the Ecumenical Asia Pacific Students and Youth Network (EASY Net) will gather more than 100 youth from the 6 member organisations to learn, study and share their experiences and ideas of peace and peace-building in their communities and countries. It is a unique opportunity for youth to develop appropriate strategies and respond to the challenge of peace building both locally and internationally.

Attached are the ASYG background information, pre-registration form and covering letter of the ASYG. We request that all registration forms be sent to Ms. Glenda Rocas, ASYG Coordinating Secretary with a copy to Ms. Cristina Dalope, our Executive Secretary by 20 July 2008.

Looking forward to your support and youthˇ¦s participation to this programme as we strengthen our partnership with Ecumenical Youth Movements in the region.

My kind regards.

Yip Kok Choong
General Secretary
