Curriculum for YMCA Advanced Studies Programme
INTRODUCTION
Asian and Pacific societies continue to manifest its diversity - economically, politically socially and culturally. People and communities are forced to make adjustments based on the many transitions that the region is experiencing a diverse range of vulnerable and marginalized groups are trapped in economic vicious cycle, by following prescribed directions set by the world economic bodies in the name of structural adjustment. Globalisation penetrates the lives of the local people. Poverty and economic injustice are on the rise. The culture of materialism threatens our lifestyles. There is a rise in social and security risks for all, particularly in urbanised societies. There is disregard for the environment and integrity of creation. We are afflicted by poverty, gender discrimination, racial discrimination, culture of violence, ethnic and religious conflicts and war. Young people are subject to disempowerment.
The diversity and complexity of the Asian and Pacific context call for a YMCA leadership, rooted in our founding philosophy and spirituality to transform lives and to empower individuals and communities. It is a leadership that takes cognizance of the realities of the day and responds in love to bring justice and peace, to build harmonious societies. Its leadership values are applied both within the YMCA movement and the society at large.
