The 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.

Bearing 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 the period of 2003 to 2013, the scholarship has been awarded to 518 alumni from 55 countries.

Due to limited space and vast amount of interests in the program, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of the Republic of Indonesia in cooperation with Indonesian Embassies and Consulates overseas, holds a series of selection process. Taken into considerations are, among others, awardees’ backgrounds, regional representations, and interests to learn Indonesian culture.

In 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 Bandung, West Java; Denpasar, Bali; Makassar, South Sulawesi; Solo, Central Java; Surabaya, East Java.

Awardees will live within or around the arts center, allowing for the chance to experience local heritage and interact with local community. Synergy between theory and practices shared inside and outside the art 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.

2014 INDONESIAN ARTS AND CULTURE SCHOLARSHIP
Special Program: Indonesian Studies for Future Indonesianists
(8 March – 22 June 2014)
BACKGROUND

The 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.

Bearing  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 the period of 2003 to 201 3, the scholarship has  been awarded to 518  alumni from  55  countries.  IACS has two categories: Regular Program and

Special Program.

This year the theme of IACS Special Program is Indonesian Studies for Future Indonesianists (ISFI). The term of Indonesianists refer to foreign individuals who master  about  Indonesia  in  one  or  some  areas,  be  it  in  politics,  economics, socio-cultures,  arts,  and  the like.  It  has  been  acknowledged  that  Indonesian Studies has become one of programs  offered  in some universities around the

world. This program is expected to  provide  more opportunities for students of Indonesian Studies  (or those who wish to study/make a research on Indonesia) to update their knowledge about Indonesia from a closer look.

Due  to  limited  space  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  to  invite  10  (ten) participants.  Taken  into  considerations  are,  among  others,  the ir  backgrounds, regional representations, ability to adapt with diverse cultures,  and their  interest to academically study more about Indonesia from various angles.

In  order  to  deepen  participants’  understanding  of  Indonesia,  the  10  (ten) awardees will learn about new Indonesia in one of universities in Yogyakarta  for the duration of approximately 3 (three) months.

Awardees  will  live  within  or  around  the  learning  centre/university,  allowing  for the chance to experience the local heritage and interact with local community.

Synergy between theory and practices shared inside and  outside the  learning centre  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.

OBJECTIVE

ISFI  intends  to  introduce  new  Indonesia  to  interested  individuals  who  have academically  learned  about  Indonesia  and  wish  to specialize  themselves  on

Indonesia,  which  will  make  them  as  Indonesianists.  The  program  will  provide

them  knowledge  about Bahasa  Indonesia,  latest  circumstances  of  Indonesian 

diversity,  politics,  economics,  socio-culture,  democracy,  and  local  wisdoms.

Specific  materials  regarding  United  Nations  Alliance  of  Civilizations  (UNAOC) will also be included in the syllabus of the program.

Aside  of  that,  participants  of  this  program  are  scheduled  to  learn  one  basic traditional dance that will be performed in the closing ceremony of the program, „the Indonesian Channel”.

After completing the program, participants are supposed to be equipped more with  better understanding about Indonesia and complement the knowledge they have acquired in their schools.
