Former President Barack Obama announced late Sunday that the Obama Foundation will formally launch an Asia-Pacific Leaders program in 2019, including a major convening in Asia of young leaders from across the region.
The Obama Foundation has launched an Asia-Pacific leadership program which includes a series of workshops for 21 emerging leaders from countries across the region. The program will build on and connect with the Foundation’s inaugural international leaders program in Africa, which launched in 2018 and brought together 200 emerging leaders from around the African continent for a one-year leadership development and civic engagement training initiative.
The Asia-Pacific leadership program aims to address critical issues such as climate change, human rights, and good governance. President Obama made the announcement last month at a private gathering at the East-West Center in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, to an audience that included some of Hawaiʻi’s elected officials and top business and community leaders, including East-West Center President Richard Vuylsteke. Obama emphasized the importance of training the next generation of leaders who will prioritize “dialogue, listening, and inclusion”. In his remarks, the former president noted that growing up in Hawaiʻi he experienced firsthand how “people from different backgrounds can learn from one another and work to create a thriving community.” Hawaiʻi is by far the most ethnically diverse state in America, with a growing Asian American population already at nearly 1 million.
