Indonesia – Korea Youth Friendship Forum is a youth forum which is organized by Indonesia Youth Foundation in Indonesia and Peace and Public Diplomacy Corps in South Korea that aims to connect Indonesian and Korean youths through seminar and discussion which will be held on 21-22 November 2020 through virtual platform. The main theme of this forum is “How to Brand Your Country in The Middle of Global Crisis?” and sub-themes are Economic and Tourism.
This theme will bring us to discuss how we can improve the image of our country after the pandemic. This global crisis situation such as COVID-19 has caused many countries to lose their image, initially being strong becomes weak, initially being good becomes bad, and so on. This of course will greatly impact relations between countries in various sectors. Here, the concept of Public Diplomacy will be very much used for branding a country. For that, the output of this theme is that we are able to answer how a country’s strategy should be to make its country’s image good again after COVID-19.
This forum consists of a Grand Seminar (11/21) and Group Presentation (11/22). The Grand Seminar is a seminar that is opened in general and filled by experts from Indonesia and Korea on the theme presented. Meanwhile, group presentations will be delivered by selected presenters from each country to represent their country according to the specified theme.
