Focusing generally on non-formal education for adolescents and youth, this symposium provides a paper that describes an approach to introducing family-life education to Malaysian youth, and also two abstracts: the first suggests a conceptual model for providing education and training appropriate to adolescents, and the second discusses from a national perspective youth activism through leisure, sport, and co-curricular programs. The discussion of family-life education (FLE) (by Indra Pathmanathan and Shanti Dairiam of Malaysia) points out conditions indicating a need for FLE, reports on the development of FLE within the context of private sector family planning associations (FPAs), describes the evolution of a strategy for a FLE program, and describes the process of FLE curriculum development. Also discussed are feedback from curriculum pretesting activities. Concluding remarks summarize major lessons learned by FPAs during the program development and implementation experience. The first abstract describes a presentation given by Chuda Nath Aryal. This discussion of an education appropriate to adolescents focuses on eight constituents concerning epistemology, development orientation, ecology, life habits, parenthood, skill generation, citizenship, and comparative perceptions of human culture. The second abstract describes a presentation by T. Vasudevan of Malaysia. This article on youth activism discusses, in terms of activities appropriate to different age group characteristics, a program that planners for sports, leisure, and recreation might consider. Full papers for the abstracted papers may be obtained from the editors of the conference. (RH)
