Our newsletter, Passages, is central to our mission of initiating and transforming conversations surrounding Southeast Asia amongst youth by creating space to explore and critically engage with regional issues.

By amplifying youth voices, we seek to enhance the impact of our youths in shaping the future of the region.

Every monthly edition of Passages features opinion pieces penned by our dedicated student contributors, many of whom bring a diverse range of interests to bear on their work.
