Anis Organizing Committee Chairperson 4 IFP International Gathering and Conference GUIDE BOOK I. ABOUT THE IFP CONFERENCE Venues : Yogyakarta Plaza Hotel on Jl. Affandi Gejayan in Yogyakarta, Indonesia Open Session at Graduate School Building of Gadjah Mada University (Wednesday Morning, July 13 only) Local Hosts : Indonesia Social Justice Network, Yogyakarta. Sponsored by : International Fellowship Program 1. Background The Indonesian Social Justice Network (ISJN) is a group of IFP (International Fellowship Program) alumni who have a commitment to ensure and implement social justice in their communities. They have been supported by the Ford Foundation through the Indonesia International Education Foundation (IIEF) to continue their studies either in Indonesia or abroad. After completing their studies, they return to Indonesia to continue their struggle for social justice. They are expected to be “agents of change”, to support their communities in development and social justice. However, it is not easy to play the role of “agent of change” since Indonesia faces multi-complex social injustices; poverty, under development, natural disaster, vertical and horizontal conflicts, discrimination against minority groups, religious radicalism, lack of educational services, environmental damage, lack of health services, and violence against women and children Yogyakarta, 13-15 July 2011 5 GUIDE BOOK ISJN is expected to encourage IFP alumni, both as individual and as a group in or out of Indonesia, to keep struggling for social justice in Indonesia and in the world. Furthermore, IFP alumni are expected to communicate one to another to initiate social justice movements. This communication and activity will be moderated by the secretariat of ISJN. Through the ISJN, alumni will be able to fluidly share their experiences and publications. It does not only facilitate communication and activity amongst IFP alumni in Indonesia, but it will also help develop the network with other IFP alumni associations and social justice networks around the world. Justification of Activity Recently many natural disasters were happened around the world especially in Asia. It is known that many disasters were caused by extreme climate change in the world. Taken for granted, many Indonesia IFP Alumni have been involved with this issue and helped the community in many ways during the earthquake and tsunami in Aceh, earthquake in Yogyakarta, earthquake in West Java and West Sumatra and other disaster in other parts of Indonesia. Recently Indonesia was hit by volcano, land sliding and flooding. It is believed that IFP alumni also have been involved either in voluntarily or professional work to respond those disasters. At the same time, it is known that many natural disasters have been happened around Asia; India, Philippine, Srilanka, Bangladesh, Burma, Pakistan and recently in China and Philippine. Therefore, this issue is not only relevant to the Indonesian context, but also in the Asia region. It is believed that many IFP Alumni’s in Asian countries also have experienced to respond and manage the disaster as well as in disaster preparedness. Because of its importance and relevant, after a long discussion and a consultation with IIEF Team, the Governing Board of ISJN, with support from all ISJN members, will hold an Asian IFP alumni gathering and conference on the climate change, disaster management and social justice. 6 IFP International Gathering and Conference GUIDE BOOK Through the gathering and conference, IFP alumni will share their experience and knowledge about climate change and disaster, and how the alumni, with society, respond and address the climate change and disaster for social justice.
