Eps #17: How Vital Is Sustainable Tourism for Indonesia's Economy?

Fri, 28 Apr 2023 11:00:00 +0700

Tourism is one of the most critical sectors for obtaining foreign exchange, which is vital to Indonesia's economy. With the revival of the tourism sector after COVID-19, tourism is recognised by the government as a critical tool for socio-economic development. However, along with its positive impact on economic growth, the expansion of the tourism industry also significantly contributes to rising carbon dioxide emissions and energy consumption. Indonesia is now reinventing and prioritising high-quality and sustainable tourism goals through implementing community-based, sustainable, inclusive tourism, which will translate to job creation impacts and boost the overall economy.

In this seventeenth episode, our Guest Host Kendartanti Subroto, chats with Professor Noel Scott, Adjunct Professor of Tourism Management at the Sustainability Research Centre, University of the Sunshine Coast and OzAlum Mohamad Farid Zaini, General Manager of Rinjani Lombok UNESCO Global Geopark Management Agency.

Eps #16: International Women’s Day: Reflection and Milestone on the Path to Gender Equality in Indonesia

For over a century, International Women's Day has been celebrated to recognise women's achievements and promote gender equality worldwide. Despite progress, biases and discrimination against women still persist.

Eps #15: Shedding Light on the Invisible: The Disabilities We Can't See

Thu, 01 Dec 2022 14:00:00 +0700

If you see someone using a wheelchair, wearing a hearing aid, or using other types of assistive devices, you are likely aware that the person has a disability. But not all disabilities are obvious to the eye – just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there. Any physical, mental, or neurological impairment that goes largely unnoticed is known as an invisible or hidden disability. The reality of individuals with these disabilities can be difficult for others to recognise, and they often face specific challenges and discrimination in their communities and workplaces. However, the more we learn about a broad spectrum of hidden disabilities, the better we can understand what people with invisible disability go through on a daily basis.

To celebrate the International Day for People with Disability, our fifteenth podcast episode dives into the hidden disability. Our Guest Host #OzAlum Lia Marpaung, Gender Equality & Disability Adviser at Australia Awards in Indonesia, chats with fellow #OzAlum Gema Gumelar, Chief Executive of Kasih Rumala Group Foundation, Dr Dante Rigmalia, Chairperson of the National Commission for Disability Committee, and Nina Hendarwati, Partnership Coordinator at INKLUSI, a DFAT–funded program. They explore what we can do to promote accessibility, equality, and inclusivity and break down the barriers for people with invisible disabilities. And what can we learn from Australia to build an inclusive community and ensure that ‘’No one is left behind’’?

Eps #14: G20 in the Spotlight: Transforming Education through Collaboration and Beneficial Partnerships among Key Stakeholders

Thu, 03 Nov 2022 12:00:00 +0700

The Indonesian G20 presidency has urged G20 nations to use digital technology to improve the quality of education and tackle the learning disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Indonesian government vows to address Indonesia’s perennial education problems, such as the lack of equal access to digital technology and high-quality education. Efforts to evenly develop the sector across the archipelago have been less than ideal partly because of the size of the population and the geographical challenges of infrastructure building.

In this fourteenth episode, #OzAlum Dr Daniel Suryadarma, Research Economist at the Asian Development Bank Institute, and Feiny Sentosa, Deputy Director – Learning at the Innovation for Indonesia’s School Children (INOVASI), a DFAT-funded program, discuss why preparing human resources and education infrastructure is crucial in addressing the gaps in digital transformation. And how can the community, the private sector and the partnership programs collaborate and contribute to achieving education for all in Indonesia?

Thu, 24 Mar 2022 22:00:00 +0700

Film plays a vital role in the formation of public opinion and can be a tool for cultural diplomacy. Beyond its simple financial collateral, a film can create distinct identities for our nations and regions, articulate voices of our various minority communities, and can impact both the way others see us and we see ourselves.
