Jan 01, 2022

Tokyo (Japan), Jan 01 (ANI): AEON 1% Club Foundation has been working on the project ‘The Asian Youth Leaders’ since 2010, with an aim to let students from different backgrounds discuss about the various social issues prevailing in their countries. This year, an online event of ‘The Asian Youth Leaders’ was held in Tokyo in which 72 high school students from seven countries participated. They discussed about various topics, learnt how to accept each other’s values and honed their problem solving skills so that they can become global leaders who can take a practical action. In this first year, under the theme of "Creating the Future of Food from the Perspective of Reducing Food Losses," each participant came up with a "Declaration of Action for Reducing Food Losses". With the aim of realizing a sustainable society as a common global issue, for next three years, this program is conducted under the unified theme of "Creating a sustainable food future that contributes to the realization of a de-carbonized society. ‘Asian Youth Leader’ is a great initiative by AEON 1% club to promote friendship with foreign countries. Besides, it also enables students from different backgrounds to cultivate attitudes that are accepting global perspectives and each other values through discussion.
