    Time for Fresh Air: Young Leaders’ Responses to a World in Transition PACIFIC FORUM CSIS YOUNG LEADERS Issues & Insights Vol. 13 – No. 15 Geneva, Switzerland April 2013 Edited By Billy Tea Pacific Forum CSIS Based in Honolulu, the Pacific Forum CSIS (www.pacforum.org) operates as the autonomous Asia-Pacific arm of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, DC. The Forum’s programs encompass current and emerging political, security, economic, business, and oceans policy issues through analysis and dialogue undertaken with the region’s leaders in the academic, government, and corporate arenas. Founded in 1975, it collaborates with a broad network of research institutes from around the Pacific Rim, drawing on Asian perspectives and disseminating project findings and recommendations to opinion leaders, governments, and members of the public throughout the region. The Young Leaders Program The Young Leaders Program invites young professionals and scholars to join Pacific Forum policy dialogues and conferences. The program fosters education in the practical aspects of policy-making, generates an exchange of views between young and seasoned professionals, builds adaptive leadership capacity, promotes interaction among younger professionals from different cultures, and enriches dialogues with generational perspectives for all attendees. Young Leaders must have a strong background in the area covered by the conference they are attending and an endorsement from respected experts in their field. Supplemental programs in conference host cities and mentoring sessions with senior officials and specialists add to the Young Leader experience. The Young Leaders Program is possible with generous funding support by governments and philanthropic foundations, together with a growing number of universities, institutes, and organizations also helping to sponsor individual participants.

  • World Sports Values Summit Report 2015
    World Sports Values Summit for Peace and Development Meeting Report Cape Town, South Africa 2-3 November, 2015 “Cape Town – a beacon of hope and courage to the world.” Foreword 3 The World Sports Values Summit 2015 was held in Cape Town following successful previous summits in London, Tokyo and New York. Sport plays a crucial role in Africa’s development and has at various times served as an instrument for building unity and promoting reconciliation. That is a key reason why the fourth annual Summit was held in Cape Town. The city and South Africa are beacons of hope and courage to the world. Nelson Mandela understood the power of sport to bring people together. Football matches on Robben Island united members of the African National Congress while they were imprisoned. He recognized its power to tackle and reframe racial challenges as seen in his courageous gestures of unity amidst the 1995 Rugby World Cup, hosted and won by a newly united South Africa. He also understood the great symbolic power of sport; one of his last public appearances was at the final of the South Africa 2010 World Cup. The annual Sports Values Summits each focus on the extraordinary role that sport can play in human life. Sport brings disparate peoples together and helps to advance cooperation, development, and even peace. The athletes and leaders who gathered in Cape Town brought direct experience of what can be achieved. With each Summit we seek to learn from promising practices and to determine what we might achieve together in advancing the valuable role that sport can have in modern society.

Sport, in its many forms, has a large potential to promote physical and mental well-being, overcome cultural divides, build community, and advance peace and the common good. Sport highlights what humanity shares and what can be achieved in an inclusive environment. Throughout the world, young people are embracing sport as a tool to help reach personal, community, national and international development objectives as well as address some of the challenges that arise from humanitarian crises in both conflict and post-conflict settings. “Sport is increasingly recognized as an important tool in helping the United Nations achieve its objectives, in particular the Millennium Development Goals. By including sport in development and peace programmes in a more systematic way, the United Nations can make full use of this “Through games and sport children learn about the value of the MDGs.

  • RELIGIONS for PEACE AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT 2019– 2020
    www.religionsforpeace.org.au World Conference of Religions for Peace (WCRP) operating as Religions for Peace Australia ABN 49 320 161 142 RELIGIONS for PEACE AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT 2019– 2020 Since my last 2018 – 2019 report prepared more than fourteen months ago, which had been prepared for the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Australian chapter of Religions for Peace in Canberra (June 17th, 2019) and initially for the annual executive meeting of the Asian Conference of Religions for Peace (ACRP) in Japan at Osaka on 10th – 13th April, 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic has completely changed the world. That previous report had been prepared in the immediate aftermath of the Christchurch massacre of 51 Muslims at two mosques. This year we endeavoured to hold an Australia-wide commemoration, given that the perpetrator was an Australian from the coastal town of Grafton but our efforts with the Prime Minister and State Premiers were overrun by the pandemic. Australia has changed not only because of the pandemic but also because of the devastating bushfires whose devastation was poorly handled by the Australian Government. However, the Government has handled the virus threat well. Principally because of the virus threat, but also for other reasons it has been an innovative, even trail-blazing and busy year as Religions for Peace Australia has risen to the myriad challenges the year has presented. RfP Australia and the C-19 Pandemic By any measure, Australia has done remarkably well in combatting the virus. As of the June 11th figures compiled by the John Hopkins University Coronavirus Data Center in Baltimore, using the deaths per 100,000 population, Australia compares very well, certainly with the US and the European countries as seen in the figures for selected countries: Australia (0.41 deaths per 100,000), Belgium (84.21), China, (0.33), Germany (10.53), India (0.57), Indonesia (0.72), Italy (56.33), Japan (0.73), New Zealand (0.45), South Korea (0.53), Spain (58.08), UK (61.62) and U.S.
