AUSTRALIA-ASEAN EMERGING LEADERS PROGRAM (A2ELP)
The Australia-ASEAN Emerging Leaders Program (A2ELP) is an annual, multi-day program coinciding with and including attendance at the Asia-Pacific Roundtable. Now in its 4th year, the A2ELP in 2014 is facilitated by The Asia Foundation alongside the 28th Asia-Pacific Roundtable that is convened annually by ISIS Malaysia.
The program brings together inspiring young leaders from Australia and South East Asia, representing the government, non-government, corporate, and media sectors, and exposes them to high-level discussions on contemporary issues; provides a forum to develop their understanding of regional issues and capacity as regional leaders; and builds long-term, productive linkages with each other and with the region's leading thinkers and specialists.
The A2ELP is jointly funded by the Australian Government through the Australia-Malaysia Institute and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, The Asia Foundation and Genovasi, in cooperation with the Australian High Commission in Kuala Lumpur.

2014 PROGRAM
The 2014 A2ELP program has 3 components. The young leaders will participate in the Asia-Pacific Roundtable (APR) where they will engage in strategic discussions on regional political, economic, and security challenges with the region's most eminent experts. Second, participants will visit Sabah where they will experience and observe similar regional challenges and issues (such as security, environment, and human trafficking) in real time, as they are played out in communities, with local actors. Third, they will be coached and mentored in innovative leadership strategies which they will apply to their own regional initiatives.
ASIA PACIFIC ROUNDTABLE
The Asia Pacific Roundtable is an annual gathering of the ASEAN-ISIS network that began in 1987 and has since become the signature regional Track Two dialogue in Southeast Asia. The APR brings together the region's foremost specialists on matters such as security (traditional and non-traditional), governance and politics, honouring ASEAN's commitment to open and frank dialogue.
