The Sylff Association secretariat was pleased to receive news of challenging initiatives undertaken by current and graduated fellows from all over the world in 2018.
The year also saw a significant strengthening of support programs offered by the Association. In September, an inaugural group of 20 fellows participated in the fall session of the Sylff Leaders Workshop, held in Sasayama and Tokyo. A fellow from South Africa became the second recipient of a Sylff Project Grant. And Local Association Networking Support events were held in India, New Zealand, Mexico, and Kenya, enabling participants at these four gatherings to meet fellows from different years.
In June, the twenty-fifth anniversary of Sylff in China was celebrated with a symposium in Beijing, attended by some 200 current and graduated fellows from 10 Sylff institutions in the country. Separate anniversary events were hosted by five Chinese institutions this year.
