The Australia-ASEAN Muslim Exchange Program (AAMEP) connects young Muslims and emerging leaders aged 23-40 who are actively contributing to their communities in Australia and countries in the ASEAN region. The program builds on the successful 20-year history of the Australia-Indonesia Muslim Exchange Program (AIMEP).
In 2024, the AAMEP will again be an in-person program, open to Muslim community leaders, changemakers, and activists aged 23-40 from Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Brunei Darussalam.
We welcome a range of individuals active in their communities and interested in learning about and connecting with the Muslim communities of other countries in our region. Past delegates have included community organisers, educators, scholars, activists, religious leaders, lawyers, artists, entrepreneurs, and many others representing diverse aspects of the region’s many Muslim communities.
Through the program, delegates experience the rich diversity of multicultural and Muslim communities in Australia and across Southeast Asia. You will engage in meaningful dialogue, and intellectual, intercultural and interreligious exchange with fellow delegates and key individuals and organisations, strengthening relationships between Muslim communities in Australia and across the region.
The AAMEP is an initiative of the Australia-ASEAN Council of the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and is delivered by Mosaic Connections.
The AAMEP is a unique oportunity for connection, dialogue, and growth between like-minded emerging Muslim community leaders and activists across Australia and the ASEAN region.
Connect and dialogue directly with high profile and inspiring leaders and changemakers, and build a community of like-minded people across the region.
The program features a diverse and rich range of opportunities for in-depth, meaningful dialogue on issues that are important to you and your community.
Join a varied and vibrant alumni network that spans diverse fields. Engage in new collaborations and build lasting professional and personal networks and connections.
Grow your leadership skills as you connect and learn from emerging and established leaders and changemakers from Australia and Southeast Asia.
