The Fellows from diverse backgrounds take part in such programs as workshops, seminars with resource persons, field trips, a retreat with Japanese and non-Japanese scholars and NGO leaders, and a public symposium.”
“The ALFP is open to citizens of Northeast-, Southeast- and South-Asian countries, aged 35 to 59, inclusive. A postgraduate degree is not a prerequisite, but applicants must have a good command of English and have demonstrated outstanding leadership ability or potential in their own professions.”
The General Theme for 2011 is “Asia in Dialogue: Visions and Actions for a Humane Society” and the program period will be from 12 September to 11 November 2011.
