Indonesien inspiriert: Einheit durch Vielfalt

In the organizer's words:

Most Indonesians live on Java. Indonesia is the country with the largest Muslim population in the world and is home to people of many different religions and traditions. How is the motto "unity in diversity" put into practice and what can we in Europe learn from this?

About our series "Indonesia inspires"

Indonesia consists of more than 17,000 islands, is home to more than 280 million people who speak over 700 languages and is the largest democracy in Southeast Asia.

The series Indonesia inspires, organized by the Museumsgesellschaft RJM e. V. together with the Deutsch-Indonesische Gesellschaft e. V., invites you to get to know the complex political and social realities of this country, which is little known in Germany. The focus is on topics such as political and social change, art and culture as well as dealing with climate change.

Find out how people in Indonesia are fighting for human rights and sustainable development and for the preservation of their own values, and how this can inspire bilateral relations. The discussions offer space for critical exchange and insights into the political landscape and social interdependencies of a country that is shaping its future with courage and creativity despite major hurdles.

The series will be moderated by Etty Prihantini Theresia and Karl Mertes .

For better planning, we would be delighted if you could register at info@rjmkoeln.de , but you can also take part in the events spontaneously. The series will be streamed on YouTube.
