About Us

The Australia-Pacific Youth Dialogue is a youth association based in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, with the vision of building and nurturing a robust relationship between youth in Oceania to address regional issues collaboratively.

 

Our mission is to establish a constructive platform that provides opportunities for young leaders to connect, communicate and engage with the most pressing issues facing our region. We welcome the participation of youth aged 18-35 from all communities within Oceania and aim to promote diversity in our partnerships through providing career resources, running digital events, programs and publications.

What We Do

APYD is a for-youth run-by-youth organization with online and in-person operations including: 

  • Publications

We use these platforms to connect Pacific Islander, New Zealander and Australian youth, build knowledge and facilitate engagement in regional issues.
