ASIA PACIFIC LEADERSHIP PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Asia Pacific Leadership Program (APLP) is the center of excellence for leadership education in Asia Pacific and a signature program of the East-West Center. The program links advanced and interdisciplinary analysis of emergent regional issues with experiential leadership learning.

The APLP empowers future leaders with the knowledge, skills, experiences and supportive community needed to successfully navigate personal and regional change in the 21st century.

Graduates leave the East-West Center with an expanded regional perspective. They are knowledgeable about the societies and issues of the Asia Pacific region and trained to exercise leadership and promote cooperation in a variety of cultural, geographical and institutional environments.

The APLP is a nine-month program (August to mid-May) with a minimum five-month residency requirement. During the first five months all participants are based at the East-West Center in Honolulu and live together on campus. The purpose of the APLP is to create a network of action, focused on building a peaceful, prosperous and just Asia Pacific community.
