Revitalisation and Institutionalisation of Pancasila Education

The University of Melbourne’s Initiative for Peacebuilding launched a Conversation Series in 2021 to hold spaces for deeper listening to Australian-based peacebuilders and discussion of important dimensions of their peacebuilding work.

In 2024 these conversations continue with a fascinating range of peacebuilders connected to the Initiative for Peacebuilding from Australia and the region.

In this conversation, Dr Yayah Khisbiyah will speak about Revitalisation and Institutionalisation of Pancasila Education at Muhammadiyah University, Indonesia.
