The Asia Pacific Leadership Program - GIST 2010
GIST 2010
Group Independent Study Travel (GIST)
Effective learning involves traditional classroom and experiential field-based activities. The Group Independent Study Travel (GIST) component of the Asia Pacific Leadership Program (APLP) is a pioneering approach to field studies that combines leadership and regional learning by deepening participants’ engagement with key issues, enhancing individual competencies through unique team-based leadership challenges, and diversifying networks of professional contacts.
The APLP's GIST initiative is intended to build on the lessons learned in the classroom, allowing fellows to travel to the Asia Pacific region where they can practice new approaches to leadership, meet leaders in specific sectors of interest and learn about local challenges and solutions to regional issues.
GIST 2010 involves 99 days in the field carrying out specific travel, interview and small-scale community support activities.

- Alternative futures: investigating how different populations imagine the future and how they can affect it
- Network flows: observing how people, ideas and events are linked together.
