I've Felt Little Autumn (Chiisai Aki MItsuketa)

The Asia Society’s Asia 21 Young Leaders Initiative is considered the preeminent gathering of a multi-sectoral network of dynamic young leaders from the Asia-Pacific region and the US, brought together for the purpose of developing collaborative approaches to shared challenges, building networks of trust across geographic boundaries, and educating each other in the highest ideals of values-based leadership.

At the dawn of an Asia-Pacific century, a new generation of leaders will be called on to foster a peaceful, prosperous, and secure global environment. To facilitate this process, the Asia 21 Young Leaders Initiative was established, with the goal of building a cross-cultural, cross-sectoral community of emerging leaders in the region today.

The Asia 21 Young Leaders Initiative seeks to prepare tomorrow's leaders for the challenges and responsibilities of global citizenship by bringing together fellows from across the Asia-Pacific region and the US and providing them with a platform to generate creative, shared approaches to leadership and problem solving.
