In October this year, ACYA will host the inaugural Australia-China Youth Dialogue (ACYD). Taking the form of a round table discussion, this groundbreaking event will bring together 15 of the best and brightest youth leaders from Australia and China to discuss and debate the issues that will shape the face of Sino-Australian relations in coming decades.

The dialogue will be held at Beijing's Tsinghua University from 4-5 October and conclude in the Australian Pavilion at the World Expo in Shanghai on 6 October.

All interested Australian and Chinese citizens under 30 years of age are welcome to apply for a position in the delegation.

Applications can be lodged between 21 June and 30 July 2010 by clicking here. Costs associated with participating in the Dialogue will be fully subsidised by ACYA.
