The Albanese Government encourages young Australians to learn languages and cultures as an investment in Australia’s future. Through the New Colombo Plan, it supports priority Asian language learning, longer immersive experiences, and deeper engagement with Indonesia.
This aligns with Acicis’ mission: authentic experiences in Indonesia, friendships and professional connections, new perspectives, and assumptions challenged.
"Experiencing Indonesia: 30 Years of ACICIS" brings together 30 years of stories, reflections and research on how in-country experience strengthens Australia’s Indonesia capability.
