The first youth caucus workshop of the Council of Asian Liberals and Democrats (CALD) has taken place in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. It was attended by party youth representatives from the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Japan and Croatia. The main result of the workshop was the creation of a youth organisation within CALD.

“How will we ever be able to show engagement and initiative if our teachers do anything but that themselves?” a brave young man responded after Mr Soedjono from the local education department had remembered the students that active participation is considered a key element of democracy.
