Indonesien inspiriert: Indonesiens Rolle in der Welt

In the organizer's words:

The Republic of Indonesia is proud of the defeat of Dutch colonial rule in 1945, and the Bandung Conference in 1955 marked a turning point in dealing with the colonial era.

The current question is how Indonesia is dealing with this legacy and protecting its democracy against increasing autocratic tendencies.

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 moderatedby 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.
