Attendance at Obama Foundation's Asia-Pacific Regional Leaders Design Workshop
For three days from January 4-6, 2019, an employee from this Foundation's Peace and
International Solidarity Promotion Division attended the Obama Foundation's Asia-Pacific Regional Leaders Design Workshop held in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA.
 This workshop was held for young leaders from various fields in the Asia-Pacific region, with the aims of raising the participants' motivation as leaders and building a network between them. The 21 participants, active in a variety of fields such as education and IT, came from 16 countries and regions including Indonesia and the Marshall Islands, and held discussions on things like the skills required to further revitalize and expand their respective activities. They also shared ideas about what is necessary to exercise their leadership in the Asia-Pacific region in the future. They then made their group presentations in front of former US President Obama and held a discussion.
 This Foundation's employee exchanged opinions with the young leaders from the Asia-Pacific region on the issues that they each want to resolve. Our employee also introduced the Mayors for Peace initiatives and asked for understanding and support for future activities.
