ASEAN Forum is a KDI School group that promotes dialogue between students, official representatives, and academics from the ASEAN region to equip students with the capacity to become future leaders and to build a strong ASEAN Community at KDI School. This forum allows ASEAN students freely discuss and debate economic, political, and social issues. 

This spring, 2023, the ASEAN Forum has three programs. 

The first program is “The ASEAN Young Research Fellow Program,” where we form research fellows and train students. The second program is “The KDIS ASEAN Live Chat Program,” a podcast program to interview and share lectures and talk shows on critical issues in three ASEAN Community pillars. The last program is “The ASEAN Day and Culture Program,” which aims to connect KDIS’s ASEAN students with others and promote ASEAN’s culture. 

“This forum provides an incredible journey for growth, and I am delighted to be a part of this forum as it allows me to contribute to the ASEAN community at the KDI School. Therefore, I also encourage all students to join and share with us as it is the platform where you can learn, get new experiences and build a professional network. Leading the ASEAN Forum helped me to learn so much from the school and outside environment.” - Roeurng Sarath, a representative of the ASEAN Forum from Cambodia, shared his experience leading the forum.
