It really affect the Young Leaders to indulge to another league of transforming the political environment in every country. It can be stop by engaging actively in our right as a people. Young generations will conquer the dilemmas and can make a brighter future ahead.

I really hope I can contribute my ability and enthusiasm to help ASEAN region become better and better. It's my dream to work in ASEAN offices politically.
However, I have a fear that I can make this dream come true because it is really challenging for me to pursue a political career. But i will try my best to achieve that.

Hopes: Youth in ASEAN can cooperate and create big positive impact to our community
Fears: how we set the common goals and ignore some barriers we have?

# data[].attributes.body
Hopes:
My hope is that more collaboration would be fostered between ASEAN nations, an important factor that contributes to the region's resilience. I believe that the region would be able to address the region's pressing issues through this as well.

Fears:
My biggest fear is that there would be hindrances that would greatly impact the progress towards reaching the sustainable development goals we want to achieve for the region. Such include government policies, global crisis like the COVID19 pandemic, and other similar issues that would impede the region from developing as a whole.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope that ASEAN continues to develop and that no country is left behind. Corruption, on the other hand, remains a serious concern in ASEAN nations, particularly during the Covid 19 pandemic. It has a big impact on people's healthcare systems.

# data[].attributes.body
Hopes
- I hope that ASEAN will be able to achieve its own goals for their countries and be also leaded by good and cored leaders.

Fears
- The fear of a corrupt leader, leading ASEAN.

I hope to see ASEAN region developing in a way that people are happy about the quality of life they have. With that, I also hope that each individual in our region would be willing to understand different cultures to collaborate for a better future.

On my fears, I am afraid that with the fast growth of misinformation and disinformation, there will be a huge polarization among SEA regions. Another fear is that due to differences in the political spectrum, the nations would lessen interactions.

Nonetheless, it is unfortunate to have programs like this that works to unify our ASEAN youth towards goal-driven culturally intelligent societies.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm from Vietnam and I think ASEAN has brought me and my country a lot of precious opportunities. And this program is truly an unprecedented chance for me and other younger people from each nation in ASEAN to gather and share our thoughts, feelings about various issues related to society, politics, entrepreneurship and so on. This is where I can raise me voice about my beautiful nation and widen my relationship with many experts, speakers and other fellows. I want to show my gratitude to all of them. They are so amazed.

ASEAN MODERN GEN
- Intellectual Capacity ( IQ, EQ, CQ)
- Unity in Diversity
- Innovative Solutions
- Young and Equipped Leaders

HOPES FOR ASEAN
Despite of various cultures and backgrounds, SEA nations should always and I meant always got each others back. Stop political issues, economic misconcepts, border conflicts and dark emotions within. Instead should focus on connection, plans, goals for the betterment of the NATIONS.

# data[].attributes.body
Hopes:
- I hope that the ASEAN Heads of States will remain united no matter what would happen.
- I hope that there would still more opportunities for the youth of the ASEAN to be engaged with each other
- I hope that the ASEAN region would have youth who are aware of their psychological wellbeing, as they cannot function if such is impaired or affected.

Fears:
- I fear that the opportunities for the youth will run out.
- I fear that the youth will not recognize the importance of having sound mental health.
- I fear that the ASEAN Heads of States will not be open to each other, thus breaking the ASEAN linkage.

# data[].attributes.body
Hopes:

I am optimistic that ASEAN will progress and reach that sustainable development it always desire to have. I am hopeful that cooperation among member-states will flourish that leads to various benefits for all people across ASEAN. I hope that ASEAN will one day be as inclusive as the European Union.

Fears:

I am afraid that ASEAN will turn unaffected of what issues that some of its member-states are facing. For instance, the threat that is ready to explode in maritime issues in the South China Sea. I also fear that human rights abuses in some member-states are being neglected by ASEAN. I also fear that development gap across ASEAN member-states will create more divide that one day will be very difficult to overcome.

# data[].attributes.body
I only have hopes. No fears at all.
- Long-term sustainability
- Gender equality
- Economic prosperity
- Greater collaboration

# data[].attributes.body
I am rooting for the recovery of ASEAN from the burdens and challenges brought by the COVID 19 pandemic. I am also hopeful for the new wave of emerging youth leaders who can bring with them a far more robust and adaptive culture in leadership.

One of my greatest fears would be the catching up of a more digital and technology dominated age, where some of the poverty affected areas or communities in ASEAN might be gravely affected- to the point where they can no longer catch up with advanced communities.

# data[].attributes.body
Hopes
I sincerely hope that ASEAN adheres to its stated objectives and values. I hope they continue on the path to progress to which Southeast Asian countries aspire. Maintain their centrality while remaining receptive to the concerns and issues that each member state faces. I believe that as a result of this, Southeast Asia will prosper and develop, allowing future generations to appreciate our region's greatness.

Fear
Given the disparities among its members, there may be instances of dissension among its members. Hopefully, this has no long-term implications for ASEAN's role.

- ASEAN will still be as firm as it is as a foundation for the development of bonds to every country.

- Cultural Intelligence (CQ) will be known spreadwide and be thought as a common ground for understanding someone or people especially that the world is connected in an online space without borders, also I hope that it will be seen as significant as IQ (Intellectual Quotient), EQ (Emotional Quotient), AQ (Adversity Quotient).

Fears

- Human Progress - Future Development especially on (AI)s.

- Modernization - Non - renewable resources will be at its limit and countries will start making stricter borders and start a purge if ever worse comes to worst and develop "survival of the fittest' as a way of life.

- Billionaire People - Self - interests.

Unity towards achieving a better world.
I hope ASEAN community and leaders will increase its initiatives and efforts to develop sustainable programs that will cater the needs of the people.

# data[].attributes.body
As a citizen of an ASEAN member-state I hope that ASEAN remains true to their goals and values. I hope that they continue to pursue the road to progress that Southeast Asian nations truly aspire. Stick to their centrality while being open to the concerns and problems that each member-states experience. I hope that through this, Southeast Asia will prosper and develop so that the future generations will come to enjoy the greatness of our sub-region

My fear for ASEAN is that with the differences that exists among the nations, there might be instances of fall out among its members. Hopefully, this does not bear any long term impact on ASEANs role

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, at present, the most serious issue is the COVID - 19 pandemic and the post-pandemic rehibilitation. However, with the strong foundation and the connectivity within the ASEAN region, we can still allocate the resources and support each other. The diversed cultural background might also a barrier but with the efforts from citizens, I think that there will be a way not only to respect distinct culture but also to connect ASEAN community.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope ASEAN will unite as one and be an opportunity of intergration for all. Moreover, I  expect ASEAN will reach all of the sustainable goals.

JOB OPPORTUNITIES & PRESERVE THE ENVIRONMENT  

# data[].attributes.body
I personally believe that to eradicate poverty, there should be more job opportunities to people. Job opportunities, where they are not abused and well payed. These also includes free trainings for them to build up their skills. We should inspire people to accomplish great things through hard work and determination. I also hope ASEAN could also focus on preserving our environment. We should invest in research & development in Finding eco friendly alternatives. I want to prioritize these matter because I see how people in my country ignore the importance of these. Hence I hope through ASEAN and us young leaders we can build a better community where we all feel safe and secured.

This is to help them grow and solidify their aims to be great and effective leader of our nation. I hope ASEAN helps me to be that person. This is not only beneficial to me but to my nation also.

But I also fear of this hope of mine. I fear that as we aim for that goal, youths are becoming more exposed to the real problems and challenges of the nation that they might think that they are incapable of solving it.

I hope that ASEAN will develop into a major powerhouse in the near future. With the it’s rich reserves of natural resources, and having a strategic location in bridging the western countries to Asia by sea, ASEAN has a huge potential in developing into an economic powerhouse, and a hub for technology and innovation. I aspire to be able to work with my fellow youth in realizing this future, and creating more positive impact for ASEAN, and the world, and collectively for our planet as a whole. My fears for ASEAN stem from the current geopolitical environment and its implications for the future. With the emerging power of China to the north, the scales are being tipped in the region away from the west towards this emerging power in the region. I hope that the instability and exploitation brought by foreign powers in before the 20th century would never happen again, and ASEAN would prosper and thrive. I also fear for the current state of the environment, and how fast the natural resources of ASEAN is being depleted, often unsustainably. As the effects of climate change would have a huge impact in the region, I fear that the region would be hit hard with calamities even before the countries’ economies have fully developed.

We need a region where disparity across all aspects- from political freedom, socioeconomic prosperity, to cultural harmony- is minimized. The pandemic is an opportunity to reset and realign all our goals as a community. It would be amazing to see ASEAN bounce back as one, committed to strategize and align all its goals towards progress for the region as a whole.

Sustainability is something I have always looked up to and at the same time, being feared for ASEAN. The reasons are as follows: Numerous glimpses of amazing plans, activities, and projects have been introduced to us since we applied in Common Purpose - AYLP, something I really hope to be continuously implemented or redo for the rest of young leaders, people in the regions and ASEAN. Yet, there are several factors that serve as hindrances in attaining sustainable plans for neighboring countries which I am afraid of. Priorly, poverty to some regions which may lead to corruption and ghost projects for the people and members. Furthermore, fear of sustainability will fail because of natural phenomena worse than pandemic and factors such as decreasing number of young leaders who are into servant leadership yet, in fear of work, acads, or industry demands that may result of leaders and ASEAN be left behind at the end.

Let me know what you think, friend. Thank you!

I believe that nurturing relationships with other people, specially with different culture, characteristics and personalities is beneficial not only as a modern leader, but also as a citizen and as a member of the ASEAN.

I hope that ASEAN will continue having programmes like this so that everyone will be able to interact with each other and hopefully even create student exchange opportunities so that we will be well-immersed on the different cultures of each ASEAN countries as well as having greater understanding about how we will be able to help each other since we will be exposed on the realities and issues faced by each country. I fear that ASEAN will be taken over by dictatorial hands (i.e., other powerful countries) which will divide us. So in order to avoid this we must strengthen our bonds.

Lastly, I hope that Cambodia, Brunei, Laos, Myanmar, and Indonesia will have more participants in the next AYLP.

I fear that China will take over the resources of its neighboring ASEAN countries and I fear that ASEAN will cease to exist.

In the past 10 months, ASEAN has faced many difficulties and obstacles. The emerging formulas do not stop at traditional security issues (strategic competition between major countries is increasing...), or non-communication security (environment, water resources, climate change... ). The outbreak of COVID-19 has become a common threat, directly affecting the health and livelihood of people as well as the economy of ASEAN countries. In the spirit of "Cohesive and Proactive" - ​​the theme of the ASEAN Year 2020 - Vietnam quickly led ASEAN to adjust its focus, making COVID-19 response a priority, transforming many associations into request from the direct format to live online format

And what is certain is that after the AYLP is over, we ASEAN youth must unite to make good collaborations that can have at least a small impact on the people around us!

I think my biggest hope for ASEAN is its centrality in question. Having its own regional bubble to create multilateral decisions involving security and other key issues are steps towards distinguishing what makes ASEAN a holistic regional organization. My fear for ASEAN is its natural falling-away from the foothold for centrality, as opposed to my hope for it. As we have learned about core and flex, it makes me hesitant to interpret ASEAN exercising optimistic cultural intelligence, and actually having 'core principles', similar to the mutual moral foundations of EU.

# data[].attributes.body
I think personally for me, I hope that ASEAN themselves can be truthful to one another, and be transparent about the issues they are currently facing.
On top of that, it is important that the younger generation is able to use the internet, as a voice, for them to speak up on the real issues that ASEAN/global world is facing.
My advice is that: Set aside a prioritization list and go through what is the most important thing to speak about. As leaders, we have to be clear what is our end goal, even though we are focusing on its process as well.
My fear is that, once a leader gets recognized, he/she does not put their objectives on their head, but greed.
