The 14th Australia-China Youth Dialogue (ACYD) will be held in Adelaide this year from Friday 22nd November to Monday 25th November 2024, bringing together 28 delegates from both countries. The four-day conference will explore the overarching theme of Planning for The Future By Learning From The Past, with each day focusing on a particular topic including: Geopolitics, Trade and Investment, Education and Tourism, Energy and Sustainability. This year's dialogue will include panel discussions and interactive workshops, to be led by expert speakers from Australian government and universities, Australia-based Chinese companies, to bring discussions, insights and a more sophisticated understanding of the bilateral trade and investment relationship.
On March 27, 2024, Qin Qin (2013 ACYD Alumni) published her book named Model Minority Gone Rogue – the story of Qin Qin. The book unpacks her incredible journey as a model Asian daughter growing up in Australia and how she decided to take the path less walked by which will no doubt inspire many. Congratulations Qin Qin!

The dialogue is organised by the Australian Embassy and All-China Youth Federation. Guests from ACYF and medias also attended the event.
My experience at this year’s Dialogue was simply amazing. Besides meeting some of the most talented, ambitious and successful Australian and Chinese individuals I have recently crossed paths with, the sessions that were organized was a fantastic combination of issues covering Business, International Security, Trade & Economics, Global Health, the Arts, Philanthropy and Media.
