The youth ideation session was carried out at the Royal University of Phnom Penh. Overall, a total of 50 students participated in the sessions from various majors and departments such as IT, Development Studies, Engineering, Economics, International Relations and Geography. There was also a good balance of female and male who participated in the sessions.
