Australia-Indonesia Young Muslim Leaders Exchange Program (MEP)
Do you like this story?
The Australia – Indonesia Young
Muslim Leaders Exchange Program (MEP) began in 2002 with the aim of
building links between Muslim communities in both countries and
promoting greater understanding and recognition of religion and its role
in each society.
Funded by the Australian
Government and run through the Australia-Indonesia Institute (AII), it
was decided in 2005 to establish this program as one of the AII’s
flagship programs. So far, 42 Australians and 112 Indonesians have participated in the program.
The program involves visits of several weeks
duration to Australia by groups of young Indonesian Muslim community
leaders (such as writers, bureaucrats, academics and workers in
non-governmental organisations and religious bodies), and visits to
Indonesia by their Australian counterparts. The focus is on building a
greater understanding for Australians of the nature of mainstream Islam
in Indonesia and, for Indonesians, a greater awareness of Australia’s
multicultural society.
Candidates are interviewed and
selected by an independent selection panel based on their extensive
networks and capacity to act as ambassadors and participate in
interfaith dialogue.
Requirements for Indonesian participants:
- Applicants (male/female) must be under 40 years of age.
- Demonstrated fluency in English through TOEFL (international or institutional standard) with minimum score of 450.
- Completion of the Application Form (available on both Paramadina University www.paramadina.ac.id / and Australian Embassy’s websites www.indonesia.embassy.gov.au)
Applications must be lodged by Thursday 17 January 2013 at 16:00 WIB. Applications can be posted to Paramadina University, Jl. Gatot Subroto Kav.97, Mampang, Jakarta Selatan 12790 or emailed to
panitiamep2013@paramadina.ac.id.
Further information will be available on the AII Website: www.dfat.gov.au/aii.
