Background: The purpose of these fellowships is to foster the professional development of emerging leaders in child and adolescent psychiatry throughout the world. We understand ‘leadership’ in its broadest context – whereas some countries may benefit most from advancing their scientific and research development forward, others will from effecting organizational change in their paediatric mental health infrastructures, and yet others from enhancing the education and training of a new cadre of specialists.

The training program includes:

1. Daily small group meetings with leading experts serving as mentors
2. Special seminars
3. Social activities
4. Free registration fee for the general sessions
5. Accommodation in Durban
6. Individualized partial support of traveling expenditures to South Africa
