Hey fam! 🌟 The 32nd APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting just kicked off in Gyeongju, South Korea, from Oct 31-Nov 1 under the theme Building a Sustainable Tomorrow – Connect, Innovate, Prosper. This isn't just a forum – youth voices are taking center stage.
CGTN's “Act To Action” campaign is buzzing: young leaders from all APEC economies are sharing real-life stories on global governance. From green start-ups in Singapore to women's empowerment projects in the Philippines, these tales highlight how fresh ideas can spark big change. 🎤
One standout voice? Danisha Decius, a Canadian graduate from Tsinghua University. She credits APEC's educational cooperation for her chance to study on the Chinese mainland and team up with peers across the Asia-Pacific. 🇨🇦➡️🇨🇳
“Tech is a game-changer,” Danisha tells us. “Imagine AI tutors, virtual labs, or low-cost online courses reaching remote corners of Bali or rural India – breaking down walls that once blocked dreams.” 🤖📚
For Danisha, this year's APEC theme hits home. She's excited to see how smart tech solutions can unlock new doors for students everywhere, creating cross-border opps for collaboration, research exchanges, and even virtual hackathons. 🚀
Whether you're into green tech, digital art, or social impact, Danisha's story reminds us: when we connect and innovate together, we all win. Here's to building that sustainable tomorrow – powered by the youth of Asia-Pacific! 🌍💪
