Welcome to the Face of Eastwing / Southeast Aviation Summit 2025
Theme: “Growing Dreams: Touching Lives in Aviation through Human Development”
This flagship event which the subsidiary NGO of the institute is organizing is set to take place in August, 2025. A purposeful gathering that targets to address this pressing challenge we can no longer ignore: the under-representation of Southeast youths in the rapidly expanding field of aviation. Despite their talents, energy, and ambition, many of our young people are held back-not by a lack of potential, but by financial limitations and lack of access to the right platforms.
We at Eastwing Youth Foundation believe that it is time to balance the equation. For too long, the Southeast has lagged in this sector- not due to inability, but due to lack of opportunity. The Face of Eastwing/Aviation Summit is designed to change that narrative. Those that will emerge as the face of Eastwing and finalist will get scholarship and other compelling prizes.
The summit includes a merit-based competition open to youths aged between 18 and 30 years, and it is designed to identify and support talented individuals from across the Southeastern states. The winner will receive full scholarships to study aviation, alongside mentorship and other life-changing prizes. More importantly, the summit aims to raise awareness about the aviation industry as a viable and exciting career path—especially in a region where access to such opportunities has historically been limited.
