We are delighted to share that the 2025 Basic Leadership Development Course (BLDC) successfully took place in Sri Lanka.
Organized by ASPBAE in cooperation with DVV International, and proudly co-hosted by Coalition for Educational Development (CED) Sri Lanka, this year’s BLDC brought together 28 emerging leaders from 17 countries across the Asia-Pacific region.
Held under the theme “Transformative Youth and Adult Learning and Education for a Peaceful Planet,” the program strengthened capacities and encouraged meaningful learning exchanges among ASPBAE member organizations. It was grounded in principles of transformative youth and adult education, embracing a rights-based, intergenerational, and gender-just approach to lifelong learning.
Through this collective effort, BLDC contributed to advancing sustainable development values and fostering a vision for lasting peace.
