Tvam in Association with AYLA - ASEAN Youth Leaders' Association
AYLA is the outcome organization of the International Youth
Leaders’ Summit which was established on February 14, 2014 in Manila by mutual
consent of the committee who handled the summit’s operations. The organization
is expected to collect potential youth leaders in ASEAN to join / form a peak
that will cover all aspects of the ASEAN 2015 (touching economic
aspirations, social-cultural and political-security), and also raise awareness
to all young leaders on the upcoming integration while harnessing stronger
relationships and communication in the ASEAN region. Through the formation of
the organization, the role of young leaders is to participate and contribute
for the progress of ASEAN, which is evident and clear as they are the backbone of
each nation.
Since the
establishment of ASEAN as a regional organization in 1967, the ASEAN
economic cooperation has been laid down as one of the main agenda that needs to
be developed. In the 9th ASEAN Summit which was held in Balion 2003, the
leaders of the ten (10) member-statesagreed upon to establish the ASEAN
community tackling 3 pillars, most importantly, the ASEAN Economic Community
(AEC). AEC aims to create a single market and production base characterized by
free flow of goods, services, investment, skilled labor and capital movement of
goods more freely.Moreover, in the 13th Summit held in Singapore in November
2007, ASEAN had agreed upon to create a blueprint for the ASEAN Economic
Community which will be used as a policy map to transform ASEAN into a single
market and production base, an integrated area competitive with the global
economy.
Through
the formation of AYLA, there will be a better access to world class leadership
trainings as the organization envisions to provide the youth with the best
quality of leadership, the AYLA brand of leadership, the organization would
empower the ASEAN youth to participate and get involved with the development of
ASEAN, sensitize the younger generation in ASEAN development measures both in
the social and economic culture. The event hosts a certain number of delegates
coming from different ASEAN member states and each should be able to give an
opinion on the many issues tackled in the region. In addition, the said, is
devoted in empowering potential youth leaders who have high interest in future
regional developments.
AYLA will
also gather creative youngsters who can compete well for the progress of ASEAN
member-states, with the said activities, the organization seeks collaborations with other youth led organizations all throughout the region. An
established network of communication will be helpful in dealing directly with
each other. We, as young people should participate with the development
of our country, work hard academically and internationally, share our skills, on the virtue of which the next generations which are yet to come would follow our
footsteps and properly utilize theirs skills and inventiveness to transcend the
economy to newer levels of ACME.

The founder of Tvam, Harstil Sahdev amidst his presentation
Tvam believes that we all have the
potential to captivate an ecstatic life. We all have the courage to achieve
great things and live a life inundated with joy, accomplishment and pure bliss.
In some of us this potential is slumbering deep inside, waiting only to be
tapped and tested, Tvam plays the role of a tapper, it makes you tap and
resuscitate your true potential and achieve great levels of jubilance. Tvam
is all about you; it's a support to ameliorate you - a voice which tells you
that you are not alone, a voice of the conscience, a voice from the depth of
heart, a voice that aims to fetch your hand in difficulties and pull you out
from the contingencies of life, Tvam is a voice that discourses: dear friend,
we are with you, We are willing to be receptive to all that you have to say and
share, to give you all the space you need.
Tvam along with ASEAN Youth Leaders' Association aims at integrating the youngsters and tap the slumbering house of infinity within them, as we believe that the future of all the Asian nations lies on the shoulder of the youngsters and our responsibility is not just confined to confide in them but to train them, to tap their true potential, to prepare them and consequently ascend them in the path of being virtuosos;
Tvam and AYLA believes that leadership is not only essential but it is also a prerequisite if ASEAN aims at fostering relationships amongst the youngsters of the member countries, the future of the ASEAN is on the shoulder of its youngsters and if the youth has to transcend ASEAN to new levels of acme then they have to imbibe the qualities of good leaders.
Tvam believes that if you want to lead a company, an organisation, an initiative or in totality a Nation then you need to first learn the discipline of leading your true self and by doing so you would unleash the slumbering powerhouse of a great leader which is resting inside you. To impart the qualities of leadership amongst the youth of the ASEAN member countries, our founder, Harshit Sahdev , shared his wisdom on the role leadership in preserving the ASEAN culture in the ASEAN Info-Cultural Exposure Camp, 2015.
