À PROPOS
KENJIN TATSUJIN
Un Conseil Consultatif International pour
l’Initiative Ashinaga pour l’Afrique
Le Conseil Consultatif International Kenjin-Tatsujin est un bureau consultatif pour l’Initiative Ashinaga pour l’Afrique. Le Conseil est un conglomérat de leaders du monde entier, qui joue un rôle crucial pour l’IAA.
Le terme Japonais Kenjin (賢人) désigne des intellectuels ou capitaines d’entreprise, reconnus publiquement comme étant particulièrement compétents, et qui ont une bonne connaissance des enjeux globaux (lauréats du Nobel, universitaires, entrepreneurs etc…).
Le terme Tatsujin (達人) désigne des artistes, interprètes, ou athlètes jouissant d’une reconnaissance nationale ou internationale et qui sont actifs dans la sphère sociale, soucieux de la protection du monde qu’ils habitent. Ashinaga met en valeur une grande diversité de points de vue et de métiers au sein du Conseil, s’efforçant ainsi de représenter de nombreux pays de tous les continents.
Soutien à l’Initiative Ashinaga pour l’Afrique
Kenjin-Tatsujin sont des conseillers experts de l’Initiative Ashinaga pour l’Afrique. Ensemble, ils fournissent de précieux conseils quant à la présentation et l’opération de l’initiative et accompagnent Ashinaga durablement pour l’aider dans son développement. Les membres de Kenjin-Tatsujin apportent leur soutien à l’Initiative Ashinaga pour l’Afrique en fournissant une opinion collective afin d’améliorer chaque aspect du programme, ainsi qu’à mettre en relation nos étudiants avec des opportunités, qu’elles soient universitaires, académiques ou professionnelles, et les soutiennent afin que leurs idées deviennent des réalités.
