This episode of AASYP on Air explores the future of ASEAN-Australia relations through a practical and youth-focused lens with H.E. Tiffany McDonald, Australian Ambassador to ASEAN.
The podcast is centred on AASYP’s core values –
building knowledge, inspiring engagement and creating connections. Based on its values, the aim is to foster an understanding of Southeast Asian nations and its individual and regional relationship with Australia. We intend to interview a range of individuals, who have opinions on the Australia and SEA’s relationship. Moreover, the podcast will provide a clearer understanding of the organisation, the people who volunteer on behalf of AASYP and the relationship we are trying to foster between Australia and ASEAN.
