Engaging the leaders of tomorrow: From Darwin to Kupang

This unique addition to the 2015 CAUSINDY Program will highlight the importance of cross-cultural education and leadership by engaging high school and university students of the territory. As current leaders, the delegates will have the opportunity to share their lessons learned from existing engagement in the bilateral relationship.

Topics for discussion include the value of studying Indonesian, in-country study, and the lessons delegates have learned in their careers so far.

Following the session, there will be an informal off-site web-conference between the delegates and high school students from Kupang, East Indonesia, who are part of the BRIDGE Schools Program. This smaller session will be conducted in Bahasa Indonesia, and will focus on pathways for Indonesian students to engage in the bilateral relationship.

This event is open to senior secondary students, members of AIYA Darwin, members of PPIA Darwin, CDU students in the Northern Territory. The event will be live streamed via video conferencing to the CDU Alice Springs campus, and made available to the public via the CAUSINDY website.
