For the advancement of psychiatry, it is important to offer young doctors an opportunity to gain an international perspective and to acquire professional and leadership skills. Prof Norman Sartorius is a leading psychiatrist who has enlightened the direction of psychiatry internationally. One of his contributions has been the establishment of the Courses for the Academic Development of Psychiatrists(CADP) which have been instrumental in fostering the acquisition of international perspectives and the development of leadership and professional skills of young psychiatrists around the world. In Japan, in particular, he organised the CADP for young psychiatrists in 2002 in collaboration with the Japanese Society of Psychiatry and Neurology. Since then, the CADP courses have been organised 22 times by young psychiatrists and have been handed down from generation to generation. This symposium will look back on Prof Sartorius' international awareness-raising activities and outline the systems that have emerged from his efforts and their impact on psychiatry in different countries. The symposium will introduce the Japan Young Psychiatrists Organisation (JYPO), an accredited NPO formed in Japan around the CADP, describe what activities its alumni are involved in, and what awareness-raising activities and results have been demonstrated in Europe and Asia. The session will then discuss the impact of these awareness-raising activities in the context of diverse cultures and changing times
