ACELS 17 - Shanghai

The Australia-China Youth Association (ACYA) is excited to announce that our flagship event, the Australia-China Emerging Leaders’ Summit (ACELS) will be hosted in-person in Shanghai, China, in 2024.

Building on the successes of the sixteen previous Summits, ACELS 17 will be hosted in Shanghai, China, in June/July 2024.

ACELS brings together young leaders under the age of 30 for an intensive multi-day educational, networking and developmental experience. As the preeminent youth dialogue for the Australia-China relationship, ACELS is a platform to foster people-to-people exchange and provides an opportunity to learn and discuss the challenges facing the bilateral relationship.

ACYA is now hiring the Project Team that will plan, execute and run the Summit. This is the perfect opportunity for someone who has never been involved with ACYA before, or who is looking to gain some co-curricular experience.
