CONFERENCE THEME

---

This year's conference addresses the theme: Bridging Divides
​
Delegates explore the global disparities and polarization amongst various factions in our community. From the recent political division between Hong Kong and China to the perpetual ethnic division between the Rohingya people and the Myanmar government, perhaps this long-awaited question is what needs to be addressed the most at this moment. We believe that the youth is capable of establishing a consensus between the parties in these ongoing conflicts to address the various forms of discrimination on both a regional and international scale. We ought to ask ourselves why these disputes are so difficult to address, and to evaluate the different perspectives that contribute to the perplexity of these issues. 

We hope that this year's conference theme would allow students to develop innovative solutions to the fundamental roots of the most global issues: social and economic division.
