Duskin Leadership Training Program 2009
he "Duskin Leadership Training Program in Japan" was launched in 1999, the year marking the intermediate stage of the "The 10 years for persons with disabilites in the Asia-Pacific region," a development program announced by UNESCAP, the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific in order to better respond to the needs of the Asia-Pacific region in improving welfare programs.
The Duskin program invites from 5 to 10 young people with disabilities who have potential to be community leaders. To help achieve their goals, this program provides an opportunity for them to learn about welfare measures, policies and services for persons with disabilities in Japan and thus improve their knowledge and skills.

Eight trainees for the 10th Duskin Leadership Training Program arrived in Japan at the beginning of this September and now they are intensively studying Japanese language.
The Application deadline for the 11th Training Program is November 14, 2008.
