UNESCO is searching for young leaders from the ASEAN Member States and Timor-Leste to participate in a Sport & the SDGs ‘funshop’ specially designed to enhance meaningful youth participation in sport policy design, foster cooperation across the region and make the case for sport as an important development tool.
