“My experience at the UYLS MALAYSIA 2022 was profoundly impactful, despite the time that has passed. The program provided crucial exposure to adaptive leadership principles, specifically within the dynamic ASEAN context. I gained a sophisticated understanding of how to apply structured problem-solving frameworks to complex, multi-stakeholder challenges, which has proven invaluable in my subsequent professional roles. Beyond the rich academic content, the summit excelled in fostering meaningful connections. The networking was exceptional, bringing together a diverse cohort of future leaders from various professional backgrounds. This created an environment of peer-to-peer learning and led to the formation of a lasting professional support network that continues to offer valuable insight and collaboration opportunities today.”

“I really enjoyed UYLS Malaysia 2022. It was my first time participating in a summit, and I had no experience or knowledge of how it works. However, the delegates and the team were very welcoming.

I enjoyed the panelists' discussion the most, as all the representatives had an opportunity to raise up their perspectives and concerns regarding the social issues happening in their respective countries.

I really wish the summit could be for another couple of days because the connections that I got there were really valuable. It feels really special communicating with like-minded people. Winning the Rising Star Award was truly emotional for me.
Its truly an amazing experience for the youths to encounter.”

“Participating in the UYLS in Bali in 2023 was a wonderful and memorable experience. Even though the summit lasted only three days, it included many activities, discussions, and meetings that made it feel much longer and more exciting. I was impressed by how quickly all the participants connected with each other. We came from different countries and cultures, yet we immediately found common interests and shared experiences.

During the summit, we had the opportunity to discuss topics that are relevant today. These conversations were open and inspiring. Besides the formal discussions, we played different games and joined group activities that helped us get closer. Even now, we stay connected and keep in touch.

One of the most memorable parts of the summit was the National Day. Each participant represented their country, showed traditional items, and explained cultural customs. We exchanged gifts and souvenirs, and through this experience, I learned many interesting things about different nations. Attending the Universal Youth Leadership Summit in Bali was an amazing experience, and I truly enjoyed every moment.”

“Participating in the UYLS conference not only opened a new horizon for me in understanding how youth can take action on global issues, but also encouraged me to share my local perspective with international delegates. With everything happening in the world today, meeting young people from around the globe is not only inspiring, it also motivates you to take action in every part of your life. It reminds you that whatever is within our control, no matter how small it may seem, is still a meaningful contribution to the future”

The team-building activities, especially the treasure hunt, brought together delegates from many countries, and the teamwork was fantastic.

Making friends globally became one of the things I cherished the most, and it showed me how powerful unity and collaboration can be. Being surrounded by inspiring young leaders helped me discover new strengths within myself and reminded me that there is so much more I can achieve and contribute.”

“Sometimes, a single experience can shift the way you see yourself and the world, and for me, UYLS Bali was that moment.

It was not just another leadership summit. It was where I rediscovered my voice, purpose, and confidence. It’s where I experienced firsthand how like-minded young leaders break barriers and build bridges despite coming from different countries, cultures, and backgrounds. UYLS Bali opened my eyes to new perspectives, and I experienced firsthand that leadership is not a competition, but a team effort toward shared goals.”

“UYLS has been one of the most impactful programs I have joined. Even within a short period of time, I learned so much from fellow delegates. The conference was very well structured, and the organizers took great care of us, from accommodation and meals to youth activities.

One of my favorite memories was the group games. The entire day was filled with fun and meaningful moments that inspired our group presentation. UYLS is truly one of my favorite conferences I have ever attended, and I continue to stay in touch with the wonderful delegates from other countries until today.”
