Two young Myanmar representatives have been selected to participate in a new European Union (EU) campaign highlighting youth leadership and innovation across Southeast Asia.

The campaign, titled “Hands that Move”, was launched by the European Union’s mission to ASEAN and features youth leaders and digital creators from each ASEAN member state.

Representing Myanmar are Min Khant Thway, founder of the youth initiative “For The Future-Myanmar”, and digital content creator Shar Thae Hoy. According to the EU, both participants share a commitment to promoting education and digital development.

Min Khant Thway said volunteer work had enabled him to contribute to Myanmar’s future while creating opportunities for young people to engage internationally.

“Being a volunteer is how I contribute today while helping build a stronger future,” he said. “These opportunities have allowed us to bring the voices of our youth to a wider, international stage.”

Shar Thae Hoy praised the work of Min and the For The Future-Myanmar initiative, saying it demonstrates that positive change can be driven by young people themselves.

The broader regional campaign showcases youth leaders connected to EU-funded projects and exchange programmes, with participants working in areas including education, digital innovation, climate action, infrastructure and health.

The EU says the campaign aims to inspire young people across ASEAN by highlighting examples of community leadership, innovation and social impact.
