Empowering leaders for just societies and sustainable futures
For thirty years, the JST fellowship has nurtured a cross-border network of values-driven leaders.
We bring leaders together to build trust, strengthen collaboration and create more just, sustainable and resilient societies.
JST Fellows are leading journalists, lawyers, politicians, civil servants, educators, activists, entrepreneurs, and researchers. They have the curiosity to engage across difference, the courage to sit with complexity, and the commitment to keep going when change feels slow.
Together, the JST Fellows’ network is shaping a more hopeful future.

How we work
The JST fellowship is comprised of three key elements to support collaborative leaders, equipping them to navigate complexity, build trust and respond constructively to shared challenges:
When there are difficulties, structures and legal requirements are important, but relationships are a great deal more important.
And at times of change, if we can build and strengthen the relationships we have with people from other communities, then we can develop structures and agree on legalities. But it's the relationships and the engagement with each other and networks of relationships that are foundational.
So the crucial thing for JST is enabling people from different places to bring their experiences and themselves to engage with each other in as open a way as possible.
