Subject: Asia Youth Conference
Partners, Colleagues, and Friends,
This October 4-6, the Atlas Economic Research Foundation will be hosting its
Asia Youth Conference in Jakarta, Indonesia at the 5-star Sultan Hotel. We
will be inviting 25 young participants from around Asia for two full days of
lectures, workshops, and brainstorming sessions in order to provide them
with the skills they will need to spread the ideas of a free society in
their home countries.
We’ll discuss how to effectively use the media to spread libertarian ideas.
We’ll look at some case studies in which think tanks and individuals around
Asia have successfully pushed for government and economic reform. Other
young individuals working for economic and political change in Asia will
share their experiences and advice. And we’ll make sure there’s plenty of
time for socializing and brainstorming. Think of it as a crash course in
libertarian activism.
Our confirmed speakers include Dr. Parth Shah (Centre for Civil Society,
India), Dr. Tom Palmer (Atlas Economic Research Foundation, USA), Robin
Sitoula (Samriddhi, The Prosperity Foundation, Nepal), Chen Qinglan (iPencil
Economic Research Foundation, China), Mirsulzhan Namazaliev and Seyitbek
Usmanov (Central Asian Free Market Institute, Kyrgyzstan), Yavnika Khanna
(Liberal Youth Forum, India), and Guo Yushan (Transition Institute, China).
As this is our first year running such a conference, we’d like to ask local
partners and friends to recommend 4-5 individuals from their countries to
attend the event. Atlas will be paying for all conference related expenses,
including airfare, lodging, and meals. Participants will be expected to
arrive in Jakarta by the afternoon of October 4th and stay until the evening
of October 6th. Students have also been invited by the Naumann Foundation to
attend their Economic Freedom Network annual meeting immediately following
our conference, to be held in the same hotel October 7-8th. (See here for
more details: www.efnasia.org) The Naumann Foundation has graciously agreed
to pay for all costs associated with attending the EFN meeting (meals and
lodging).

*Requirements*:
1) A solid command of English. All sessions will be held in English, and
to maximize the effectiveness of the sessions and the ability of
participants to network, we’re looking for individuals who are fluent in
English.
2) Between the ages of 18-28. While students are preferred, young
professionals are welcome to apply.
3) Have a clear interest in libertarian/liberal ideas, including the
importance of the free market, rule of law, and democracy.
4) Most importantly, we’re looking for individuals who have the potential
or the expressed desire to begin working in a serious manner to spread these
ideas in their home countries. This work could take many forms, including
working for or starting their own think tank, writing books and articles,
working for an NGO, etc.
Interested candidates should then send their CVs and a brief statement
(200-250 words) about why they would like to attend the conference to Jude
Blanchette at jude.bl...@atlasnetwork.org by no later than *August 15th
*.
Sincerely,
Jude Blanchette
