1 TERMS OF REFERENCE BOROBUDUR YOUTH FORUM June, 2015 Youth: Inspire and Be Inspired! Borobudur, Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia By UNESCO Jakarta Balai Konservasi Borobudur and Indonesia International Work Camp (IIWC) UNESCO will engage youth in leading dynamic heritage preservation projects and in volunteering in awareness-raising in this field as a vector of dialogue and inclusion. UNESCO Operational Strategy on Youth cultural heritage, in the form of object, building, structure, site, and compound, should be managed by central and local government, by enhancing the role of community in protecting, developing, and utilizing cultural heritage. Consideration, National Law No. 11 Year 2010 regarding Cultural Heritage.... which initiatives, public and private, are needed to include young people in the safeguarding of cultural heritage and awareness rising? For me, is to create channel of communication between young people with public and private which is youth friendly. I also believe that UNESCO should take this role more and more. Especially in developing countries where mostly young people are there and most of them have limited access to meet their initiative with public & private sector agenda... Speech delivered by Ismi Novia, IIWC Director on the 3 rd International Forum of NGOs Official partners to UNESCO Bulgaria, September 2014 under the theme: The Role of Youth in the Safeguarding of Tangible and Intangible Cultural Heritage. A. Background In this globalization era, Indonesian youths are often faced with the splendor of the world through internet and television mostly showing the angles of global consumptions, money making instantly, and current technology supplies. This often strikes us into wishes to posses the globalization offered without reflecting it deeper on what we can do to be involved in globalization as proud, creative and productive Indonesian youth upon our own localities such as wisdom, culture, art, and nature. Those are called heritage, which is mostly forgotten and considered as old fashion. What is also forgotten is the fact that our heritage is our identity in international arena. Without awareness in heritage, Indonesian youths will lose their identity in the globalization era. Indonesia is and will be majored by youth in population since now until 2030 (Statistics Indonesia, 2010). Therefore, it is very essential and influential that youth should start to be the change and agent of change in the safeguarding heritage in Indonesia. B.
