In 2019, at the 9th Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in the Dominican Republic, the Santo Domingo Declaration was accepted. Under the declaration, member countries agreed to “identify inter-regional cooperation projects with voluntary participation, especially under the Working Group of Culture, Youth, Gender, and Sports (CYGS)”. In this context, Korea and the FEALAC Cyber Secretariat worked together in 2023 to launch FEALAC Youth Language & Culture Exchange Program (LCEP). The participating countries of 2023 are as follows: 2 from Brunei Darussalam; 4 from China*; 5 from Indonesia; 7 from Korea**; 2 from Myanmar; 2 from Argentina; 2 from Suriname. * Two youth delegates were nominated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, and additionally, two Chinese FEALAC Supporters affiliated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Korea joined. ** Every Korean youth delegate is a participant in the FEALAC Supporters Program, which is a national initiative led by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Korea. The program aims to foster stronger links and solidarity between all member countries by promoting public and cultural diplomacy, as well as people-to-people exchange. The primary objective of this program is to enhance cultural understanding among the youth of FEALAC member countries in East Asia and Latin America. To ensure the project’s objectives, we kindly request each FEALAC member country to recommend one to two university students who can participate in the program. The youth participants will have the opportunity to engage in immersive cultural experiences, interact with their counterparts from different countries, and develop a broader perspective of the FEALAC community. Through activities such as language learning, and cultural workshops, the project aims to facilitate meaningful connections and lasting friendships among the youth of East Asia and Latin America.

2024 FEALAC Young Leaders (Supporters 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 Supporters Program.
