Asia Leadership Fellow Program

 

Asian Leaders Camp in Tokyo to Explore Unity in Diversity

 

To create a close, personal, and professional network of "public intellectuals" in Asia, the Japan Foundation and the International House of Japan (I-House) have jointly been conducting the Asian Leadership Fellow Program since 1996. Up till now, 94 fellows from 16 Asian countries have participated in this program.

Each year, public intellectuals from Asia who have deep roots in civil society and who play a leading role in initiating solidarity among concerned people reside at the I-House for about two months and intensively discuss regional and global concerns through dialogue, seminars, field research, and socializing. By offering the opportunity of living together, ALFP seeks to create a close, personal and professional network of public intellectuals in Asia.

 

This year, 7 Fellows will be in Japan for a collaborative interaction on the broad theme of “Asia in Dialogue: Visions and Actions for a Humane Society” from September 12 to November 11, 2011. They will discuss how different values can coexist, how a community with a sense of solidarity can be realized and what is the role of public intellectuals in the face of great tragedy such as the March 11th. The ALFP will continue to tackle pressing issues of the day as they arise.
