This event marks its third occurrence after the previous '2023 Vocies of Young FEALAC: Ideas for a Better TITM Connection' and '2020 Voices of Young FEALAC: Ideas for a Better Connection.' This idea contest is being participated in by FEALAC Young Leaders, who have dedicated their efforts to enhance the visibility of FEALAC both domestically and internationally, and who have studied a range of cooperative initiatives and cases from FEALAC member countries.

2025 FEALAC Young Leaders Program
At the 9th Foreign Ministers' Meeting in the Dominican Republic, greater visibility for FEALAC was identified as a key need, as stated in the Declaration on "Strengthening the Institutional Framework of FEALAC". In response, the Republic of Korea and the Cyber Secretariat developed a Public Relations Program aimed at increasing FEALAC's visibility in Korea. These efforts build on the FEALAC Supporters Program that was launched in 2019 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of FEALAC. Comprised mainly of undergraduate and graduate students interested in FEALAC and the two regions, East Asia and Latin America, the FEALAC Supporters have organized various public relations events to introduce FEALAC to the Korean public. Korea aims to enhance FEALAC's visibility in the country and inform a wider audience about FEALAC's significance for Korea's foreign policy by actively using online platforms. To achieve this goal, Korea and the Cyber Secretariat have established popular social media accounts, such as a blog channel, Instagram, and YouTube, as part of the FEALAC Young Leaders Program.

Enhancing Thai Cultural Understanding through Thai Language Online Training Courses
Project Overview: In response to the increasing interest in Thai pop culture and language, in collaboration with the Thailand Foundation, MFA Thailand is proud to present Thailand’s FEALAC National Project; a comprehensive Thai Language Training Online Course. Building on our longstanding commitment to sharing knowledge on Thai culture and expertise, this project offers an Thai language learning experience tailored for FEALAC member countries. Background & Rationale: With the soaring global popularity of Thai series—including the rapidly growing fanbases for Boy Love and Girls Love (BL & GL) narratives in East Asia, and recently in Latin America—there has never been a better time to learn Thai language. This surge in international interest has fueled demand for authentic insights into Thai language and cultural expressions, driving our initiative to develop online courses that cater to both beginners and cultural enthusiasts.
