About Generation Now Asia

Generation Now Asia (hereafter: GNA) is a non-profit youths organisation based in Taipei, Taiwan. GNA aims to play a role of connecting Taiwanese civil society with like-minded partners in East Asia and Southeast Asia to address the challenges that the regional civil society are facing today.

We believe that a  a robust regional civil society can strengthen the resilience. Youth and grassroots communities are particularly critical assets in terms of building an inclusive society enshrines equality, diversity and tolerance. Thus, GNA primarily works to empower youths and grassroots communities in our region by creating a platform to bring them together and enhancing their capacity on multicultural and democratic organizational skills.

GNA’s projects are designed to bring diverse stakeholders together. GNA facilitates experiences sharing, capacity building and collaboration among civil societies, grassroots groups and youths in order to facilitate the development of a robust and interconnected inter-sub-regional civil society.

GNA also promotes Taiwanese government and Taiwan's civil society to play a more active role to host, support and collaborate with youths and civil society in the region.

關於亞洲鬧世代

Generation Now Asia （GNA, 亞洲鬧世代）是立案於台灣的非營利青年組織。我們認為一個相互連結且活躍的區域公民社會可以使我們更有能力與彈性應對今時面臨的種種挑戰。因此，我們嘗試連結與我們有相近願景的東北亞、東亞與東南亞的公民社會組織、青年行動者與草根社群，共同辨認關鍵議題並且相互賦權與合作。

GNA將不同背景與工作方式的青年與組織聚在一起，使他們有機會交流經驗、提升各類技巧，並跨越傳統國界的阻隔或對議題的認知，一同發展一個更相互連結與活躍的區域公民社會。

青年世代和在地社群是建立一個重視平等、多元、權利與包容力的包容性社會的關鍵角色。因此，GNA的主要工作便是建構平台以及創造各種場域，使區域不同文化背景與關注不同議題的青年共同學習、交流經驗、共創新方法，透過民主與多元文化的方式進行組織。GNA同時也提倡台灣成為一個更加開放的區域公民社會空間。
