Abstract
Panelists
will discuss how a distinctive leaders training program has impacted
the lives of its participants over the past 40 years. The focus will be
on how training can relay more than knowledge and skills but also
influence values having the potential to effect broader social change.
While many programs focus on skills and knowledge development alone, the
Asian Rural institute (ARI) located in Tochigi Prefecture, aims to also
transfer values which bring about more equitable and just communities.
Stories from research as well as from current staff and former
participants will share some of the changes experienced by individuals
and how they are able to impact their local communities.
