The Australia India Youth Dialogue (AIYD) is the pre-eminent track-two young leaders’ dialogue between Australia and India. Held in India and Australia in alternate years, the AIYD hosts 15 of the best and brightest young minds from each country at an annual conference.

The AIYD enables a rich exchange of ideas between emerging leaders to think creatively about how the Australia-India relationship may be strengthened through their own work and efforts.

Dialogue 2017

The AIYD 2017 Dialogue will be held in Australia from 15th – 18th February 2017.

Applications for AIYD 2017 are now closed. We will be announcing the selected delegates for AIYD 2017 by November, 2016 on our website.

PAST DIALOGUES

“AIYD was a unique opportunity to meet an eclectic group of young leaders from diverse fields in India and Australia.  AIYD is a platform, unlike any other, to discuss and ideate, simply put, AIYD is multiculturalism in action. But above all, I know I’ve made friends for life. That for me, has been the single biggest takeaway.”

-Neha Khanna, 2013 Indian Delegate, Journalist, News Anchor with NDTV

 

 

“AIYD was an enriching experience that opened my eyes to the great work being done by talented professionals in Australia and India.”

–Chris O’Niell, 2014 Australian Delegate, Director, Hydronumerics
