The course will introduce students to life in Indonesian villages. The locations over previous years have included urban low income settlements and mountain villages in Java, and fishing villages in North Halmahera. Each year the location is determined in discussion with our partner university in Indonesia. ANU participants work in team with Indonesian students to explore social issues within the community where they are based. The fieldschool offers valuable experience in cooperating cross-culturally with the Indonesian students. ANU participants will attend an introductory workshop over several weeks in May before travelling to Indonesia to meet up with Indonesian counterparts. After an initial workshop at the Indonesian university participants will live as teams in the Indonesian villages for three weeks, conducting research and development projects there in collaboration with local residents. Living conditions will be basic but comfortable.
