According to the manager, the event is expected to be attended by 100-150 participants from all AUN members from Indonesia, Laos, Singapore, Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam and Brunei, and the ASEAN 3 countries of Japan, the Republic of Korea (RoK), and China.

Themed 'Think-Feel-Act: Revive Stronger!,' the event marks its return after three years in hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she said.

Previously, the UI hosted the 12th ASEAN and 2nd ASEAN 3 Youth Cultural Forum in 2014.
