The Conference of Australian and Indonesian Youth (CAUSINDY) is an initiative of the Australia-Indonesia Youth Association or AIYA, with partners including the Australia Awards, RMIT, University of Sydney and UNSW.
This year’s delegate group is one of our most diverse yet, bringing together young leaders in fields from law, communications and journalism to academia and public policy. The number and depth of applications this year was larger than ever.
In 2015, delegates will be directly engaging with the history of the relationship, under the theme Going Back to the Beginning: From Indigenous Trade to Modern Day. The conference program will include panel discussions, social and networking events around Darwin.
