Background |
Indonesian youth is the successor of the country, thus should be fully accommodated by knowledge and understanding of the role they soon to take. The youth then should also fully aware that the education they are pursuing right now is should specially intended to be contributed to the future of Indonesia.
To prepare the youth, they have to be given chances where they can exercise their understanding of the problems occurring in Indonesia, its resources, and its inadequacies, and then they are going to have to learn how to use their knowledge and expertise as the fixing tools. For students that studying abroad, the circumstances applied slightly different, because Indonesian students studying abroad often less exposed to Indonesian news, and does not experience the problems in Indonesia first handed. For that, they might have slightly lower awareness of the development and occurring events in Indonesia. But in some way, these students have benefit over the students that are studying in Indonesia, which that they have different viewing point towards Indonesia and its problems. They are able to open up their mind and adopt lesson, inspired by the place and community that they are studying at. The project is given the students opportunity to compensate their lost, and in the same time make use of the benefit they got abroad, and also prepare and sharpen their knowledge and expertise. |
