APCEIU, in response to a growing demand for youth exchange programmes for EIU, organized a visiting programme for college students in the Asia-Pacific region for the first time. From 23 September ~ 1 October, 2011, 35 College students from 18 countries (including Korea) visited various UNESCO World Heritage sites in Seoul and Inje to create an action plan for preservation of diversity in the Asia-Pacific.
