ASEAN Youth Camp The ASEAN Youth Camp started in 1998 and is held once every two years.  Through various activities, youths learn about each other's culture and history, share experiences and build up friendship.  It's hoped that this will help to evolve a consciousness of ASEAN culture.                                         ASEAN Youth Camp 2010 Fifty five young creative talents from ten ASEAN Member States and China gathered in Hanoi, Viet Nam from 23 -29 April 2010 to participate in this year's ASEAN Youth Camp.  Through the 7-day workshop, the youths got to learn about one another's culture and history through the arts, to share their experiences and build friendship and understanding.                    The camp was held under the theme "Dragon: Legend in ASEAN Culture" to mark the 1,000th founding anniversary of Hanoi that was also known as Thang long, the City of the Ascending Dragon, and the year that Viet Nam took over as Chair of ASEAN.
