Across Southeast Asia, young minds gaze at the same stars, but with vastly different challenges.
In Thailand, vibrant astronomy communities exist, yet youth engagement remains limited. In rural Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indonesia, pristine dark skies beckon, but telescopes and training are hard to come by. In cities like Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, heavy light pollution dims both the night sky and opportunities for exploration.
SEAYAN unites these passionate youth from every corner of the region, from bridging divides, to amplifying voices, and lighting the way for a new generation of astronomers to rise together.
