New Generation Seminar
Dialogue program for rising young leaders
October 14 - 28, 2007
Closing date: April 4, 2007
http://www.eastwestcenter.org/events-ce-detail.asp?conf_ID=975


Each year the East-West Center invites rising young leaders from the United
States and Asia Pacific to participate in *The New Generation Seminar *(NGS),
a two-week intensive educational and dialogue program. The program is
developed around a thematic focus and provides participants with an
opportunity to strengthen their understanding of regional developments and
challenges, increase their contacts with counterparts in the region, and to
become more effective leaders with an international perspective. The first
week of the program is held in Hawaii. In discussions with East-West Center
researchers, other experts in the Hawaii community and one another,
participants are introduced to key regional policy issues such as
international relations, security, economics, population, health and
environment. The second week involves field travel to either the United
States or Asia Pacific for exploration of the program theme.

Through a generous grant from the Freeman Foundation, the East-West Center
covers all air and ground travel expenses, meals, lodging and other per diem
expenses for the participants related to the two-week program.

*"Education Challenges in the 21st Century"
*October 14-28, 2007
Honolulu, Hiroshima, and Shanghai

Major education reforms are being undertaken in Asia to address
long-standing challenges and to meet the needs of the 21st Century.
Globalization and interconnectedness have changed Asian economies and
societies, and with this, the expectations people have of education.
Policymakers and educators throughout Asia are struggling to meet increased
demand for access, rectify inequities of access for rural dwellers, ethnic
minorities, disadvantaged social classes and women, and address issues of
quality and whether educational systems are meeting labor market needs in a
new environment of global competition. They are experimenting with the
balance of financing and control between public and private, local and
national. Some countries also are using education to counter some of the
social influences of globalization, foster a sense of national identity and
perpetuate "Asian values." More
