The Program
Policy-making is a complex task to provide an equitable solution for a multi-faceted problem. In practice, policy-making involves not only policymakers on the government level but also constructive ideas from the grassroots and professionals. Recognizing the need for fresh ideas and perspectives to further upgrade the Indonesia-Korea relationship, the Foreign Policy Community of Indonesia (FPCI) in collaboration with the Korea Foundation is proud to organize the Indonesia-Korea New Southern Policy Young Professionals Lab. The two-day program serves as a platform for Indonesia's active professionals to develop a deeper knowledge of the NSP, engage with policymakers and practitioners, delve into problems and formulate solutions for the betterment of Indonesia-Korean affairs.
Ten young professionals are selected to participate in a two-day hybrid program in Jakarta. The participants get to join interactive panel discussions and workshops with members of the government, leading institutions, influential experts, and practitioners from both Indonesia and Korea. The program is concluded with the creation of a Joint Policy Recommendation Paper addressed to both governments and relevant entities, incorporating strategies and solutions from various disciplines for a better implementation of the New Southern Policy in Indonesia, especially in the post-pandemic world.
The program is convened on 24-25 May 2021 in Jakarta, Indonesia. All selected young professionals must attend the program physically, while facilitators and guest speakers participate in a hybrid manner.
