A young teenager once asked, “Why should we care about Indonesia?”. This question is commonly found among our surrounding. It is the reason why we keep working together with various partners until today, ie. to promote responsible citizenship, especially to Christians in Indonesia. Here are some of our activities last March 2018.

 

Nationhood Workshop
(Partnering with Indonesia Nationhood Movement – Gerakan Kebangsaan Indonesia)
22-23 March 2018

This workshop was participated by 21 pastors from Indonesia Christian Church – Gereja Kristen Indonesia (GKI) and Indonesia Nationhood Movement activists. We equip participants with nation building knowledge on challenges that threaten diversity in Indonesia, intolerance, church’s role in responding the threat, and strategies to promote viral and sticky nationhood message. It was also followed with handy practices, learnt from excursion study to Constitutional Court and Wahid Foundation.
