The 1st International RWYC Conference
In cooperation between RWYC and the Ministry of Education & Culture of the Republic of Indonesia presents the 1st International RWYC Conference 2021, “Reconnecting with Your Culture in The World” - We are Ambassadors of Culture.
BACKGROUND
Analyzing the realities of different countries of the world, from the Far East to the far West, there is a need to activate a new “humanism” and for this reason, it is necessary that Culture enters fully into the whole ideation of the new and innovation on which it is important from now on to invest. To do all this, however, we must start from the younger generations and then plant seeds to obtain good fruits and therefore a very good harvest in the near future.
In conjunction with National Cultural Week (Pekan Kebudayaan Nasional 2021) in Indonesia, it is the right moment to hold an International Conference addressing Culture. We would be presenting the international pedagogical project “Reconnecting with your Culture” promoted by the EdA International Research Center Esempi di Architettura and UNESCO University and Heritage. The project pursues the “Quality education” objectives of the UN 2030 Agenda. The pedagogical method “Reconnecting with your culture” brings children and young people closer to the themes of culture and civic formation because only by knowing and enhancing their respective cultural heritages is it possible to appreciate the present and build the future well. For these reasons, it is very important to hold this International Conference addressing Culture in National Cultural Week (PKN 2021).
AIMS
1. Introducing RWYC pedagogical method to Indonesia and International audiences.
2. To bring young generations closer to the values and content of local cultures, at the same time exposing them to the diversity of culture in the world.
3. To open dialoguing between nations based on culture addressing culture education to the young generation.
