The Friends of SEAMEO Gallery (FoSG) made its return during the 47th SEAMEO High Officials Meeting. The gallery reflects SEAMEO's commitment to collaboration, bringing together five organisations eager to explore partnerships and contribute to the advancement of education, science, and culture in Southeast Asia. Each of these organisations brings a unique perspective and expertise, contributing to SEAMEO’s vision of fostering sustainable development in the region.

Here's a closer look at some of the participants this year.
