This experience is designed to facilitate meaningful dialogue and cross-cultural exchange.
Transformative Experience for Leaders
Starting in October, the distinguished fellows will have the opportunity to engage with influential peers and American thought leaders.

The selected fellows represent a diverse group from Southeast Asia, including leaders from multiple countries who are driving initiatives in various fields such as public policy, artificial intelligence, music, medicine, and climate innovation. This fellowship represents a unique opportunity for personal and professional growth.
Dynamic Initiatives Making an Impact
These accomplished leaders bring with them a range of innovative projects, from digital health platforms aimed at dementia caregivers to the development of AI ethics curricula for public servants. Additionally, they are contributing to establishing new major international arts festivals, pushing the boundaries of creativity and cultural exchange.
According to the fellows, their participation in this program is not just about learning but about applying what they acquire during their time in the U.S. to make significant contributions to their communities back home.
