Southeast Asia’s youths are now living in an era of uncertainty. The past few decades have seen the region achieve tremendous growth, accelerating the living standards of many across only a few generations – setting a strong precedent for how the region’s youth today now demand and expect more from their governments, the businesses they patronise and the media platforms they engage with. While 2020 was a watershed year for the youths’ resilience, 2021 has been one of adaptation; they must now learn to not only live, but also thrive in today’s normal and the next.

This webinar – jointly organised by the PRCA and Redhill – will discuss several key findings of the 2021 ASEAN Youth Survey by Redhill. The study, titled ‘Overcoming Anxieties for a Brighter Tomorrow’, analyses the roles of Southeast Asia’s youths as key drivers of economic, cultural and socio-political change. It provides a snapshot view of their aspirations and concerns, through the eyes of nearly 3,000 people aged 18-35 across seven ASEAN nations.

Taking place at 2pm SGT on 29 April 2022, the event will feature a panel of experts within the media and communication sectors. Together, they will discuss the following pertinent themes evolving within the online activity pace:

  1. The role of Southeast Asia’s youths in driving the online evolution of media, and how businesses and governments can evolve communication methods accordingly
  2. How communications professionals can help conventional media adapt to digitally connected youths
  3. Thoughts from communications professionals on striking a fine balance between freedom of expression and curbing malicious online activity

Speakers include:

  • Sarah Tucker, Head of APAC Marketing, LinkedIn
  • Sharanjit Leyl, President of the Foreign Correspondents Association in Singapore, and a former senior broadcast journalist at the BBC
  • Surekha Ragavan, Editor, Campaign Asia Pacific
  • Pranav Rastogi, Managing Director, Redhill
