SUMMARY:2017 Indonesian Arts and Culture Scholarship
DESCRIPTION:A. BACKGROUND\nThe Indonesian Arts and Culture Scholarship (IACS) has been conducted since 2003 and was initially offered to and participated by member countries of the South West Pacific Dialogue (SwPD); Australia\, New Zealand\, Papua New Guinea\, the Philippines\, Timor-Leste\, and the host Indonesia. \nBearing in mind the significance and advantages obtained from the program\, the scholarship was expanded over the years to include member countries of ASEAN\, ASEAN+3\, PIF countries\, as well as many countries from all regions in the world. In 2017 the participants of the scholarship will include participants from MIKTA countries (Mexico\, Indonesia\, South Korea\, Turkey and Australia). In the period of 2003 to 2016\, the scholarship has been awarded to 718 alumni from 63 countries. \nDue to the limited space and the vast amount of interest in the program\, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia in cooperation with Indonesian Embassies and Consulates overseas\, hold a series of selection process. Taken into considerations are\, among others\, the awardees’ background\, gender\, regional representation and the interest to learn Indonesian culture. \nIn order to deepen the awardees’ understanding of Indonesian arts and culture\, and to enhance their skills for the final performance\, awardees will be divided and assigned by the organising committee to different arts centers for the duration of approximately 3 (three) months. The arts centers are located in 4 (four) cities\, namely: Denpasar (Bali); Makassar (South Sulawesi); Surabaya\, (East Java) and Padang (West Sumatera). \nAwardees will live within or around the arts center\, allowing for the chance to experience the local heritage and interact with the local community. Synergy between theory and practices shared inside and outside the arts center would undoubtedly become the driving force for shaping international cultures and norms\, and will eventually strengthen regional as well as global understanding and cooperation at a people-to-people level. \nB OBJECTIVE\nThe program serves to demonstrate Indonesia’s commitment as an initiator of the establishment of South West Pacific Dialogue and as the originator member of ASEAN in advancing the social culture cooperation in the region. The program also has an objective to encourage better understanding amongst participants from member countries through Indonesia’s immensely diverse arts and cultural heritage. Finally\, the programme aims to cultivate a culture of cooperation\, emerging from direct contact and sharing of cultures amongst people involved in the program\, leading to thriving diplomatic relations in the region and worldwide. \nC. PARTICIPANTS\nAwardees of the 2017 IACS will be targeted from many countries: member countries of ASEAN\, ASEAN + 3\, East Asia Summit\, ASEAN Dialog Partners\, ASEAN + European Union\, Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation\, Asia-Europe Meeting\, Melanesian Spearhead Group and members of South West Pacific Dialog as the original participants of Indonesian Arts and Culture Scholarship. \nD. TIME\nThe non-degree arts and culture scholarship is offered for three months period of time\, starting on 6 May to 19 August 2017. \nE. LOCATION\nAfter 1 (one) week of orientation/introduction of the program in Jakarta\, awardees are given the art center designated for them by the organizing committee on the basis of their motivation\, interests\, gender\, regional dispersion etc. Decision of the designated arts center is subject to the discretion of the organizing committee. \nF. LIST OF COURSES\nBasically\, all awardees will learn about Indonesian arts and culture in general while their staying in the art centers. However\, some of the courses will be different in each arts center depending on the local arts and culture. For example\, In Surabaya\, the awardees will learn Javanese art and culture such as the process of batik and its significance; karawitan; traditional Javanese dance; and Javanese language. In Bali\, the awardees will learn Balinese art and culture\, namely Balinese dance and gamelan. Meanwhile\, in Makassar\, the awardees will learn the Sulawesi arts and culture\, as well as the local language. \nEach arts centre will also arrange special visit to several historical places as well as renowned tourist destinations for awardees. \nPrior to their residency at arts centres\, awardees should participate in one week orientation in Jakarta and will learn issues such as the Aim and Objectives of the Scholarship; Introduction to Indonesian Culture; Indonesian contemporary arts and cultures\, Information about the activities and curriculum offered by the art centers\, etc. \nAll awardees will perform in an arts and cultural night titled “Indonesia Channel” to remark the closing of the scholarship program. The “Indonesia Channel” is scheduled to be held on 15 August 2017. Awardees will return to their respective countries on the following days. \nG.
