Sylff News

Recent articles uploaded on the Sylff website have been compiled into a booklet entitled “Voices from the Sylff Community.” The 10 articles contained therein represent some of the many “voices” in the very extensive Sylff community, encompassing 69 universities in 44 countries around the world.

In addition to the print edition, the booklet is also available as a PDF file, which can be downloaded from the link below. It’s a handy introduction to what a handful of some 13,000 current and graduated Sylff fellows are doing and thinking, as well as the contributions they are making to make a difference in society and build a better future.

Some of the articles are the results of fellows’ academic research and social action, including those conducted through such additional support programs as Sylff Research Abroad (SRA) and the Sylff Leadership Initiative (SLI) provided by the Tokyo Foundation. Others are journalistic reports, essays, or the abridged transcription of a lecture. You can see how diverse the community is in terms of nationality, language, ethnicity, religion, and political system!

The members of this community have one thing in common, though: They all strive to tackle the complex issues facing the world or their respective countries and communities, displaying high integrity and desire to contribute to the betterment of society.

We Want to Hear Your “Voice”

We are always eager to receive YOUR contributions to the site. Please contact the Tokyo Foundation at leadership[a]tkfd.or.jp (replace [a] with @).
