THE 3RD SCHOOL OF MARITIME AMBASSADORS TO INSPIRE INDONESIA'S YOUTH TOWARDS MARITIME EXCELLENCE
ASPEKSINDO's Flagship Program Aims to Cultivate Maritime Enthusiasm and Leadership
Indonesia, a nation deeply intertwined with its maritime heritage, is poised to embark on a journey to nurture a new generation of maritime ambassadors. Recognizing the abundant marine resources and fisheries potential that lie within its archipelagic expanse, Indonesia’s Association of Governments of Coastal and Archipelagic Regions (ASPEKSINDO) is gearing up to launch its esteemed Indonesian School of Maritime Ambassadors for the third consecutive year. This Visionary program is set to unfold from August 11 to August 17, 2023, at the Office of the Provincial Liaison Agency of East Kalimantan, simultaneously marking ASPEKSINDO’s 6th Anniversary.
In a nation where maritime identity holds profound historical and future significance, the Indonesian School of Maritime Ambassadors stands as a beacon of hope. Under the overarching theme of "Maritime Progress, For Advancing Indonesia", the program aims to tap into the vigor of Indonesia's youth. These young maritime ambassadors are entrusted with the responsibility of not only preserving the nation's maritime legacy but also driving forward the construction of a great maritime civilization.
Central to the program's mission is the rekindling of Indonesia's maritime prowess on a global stage. This vision encompasses inspiring the millennial generation with maritime enthusiasm, kindling pride in maritime heritage, fostering innovation in marine science and technology, and empowering the future Indonesian Maritime Ambassadors to optimize the nation's marine tourism potential.
Structured as an immersive and engaging educational experience, the 3rd School of Maritime Ambassadors is designed to create an interactive environment for learning. Participants will be exposed to classroom-style sessions, complemented by experiential studies in governmental institutions and maritime-focused locales. The program employs a "Training Community" approach, encouraging active participation and knowledge-sharing within a learning community. This is facilitated through group discussions, collaborative learning, and hands-on projects based on real-world challenges. With a meticulous selection process, the program welcomes 100 distinguished Maritime Ambassadors from various cities and districts.
The event's lineup boasts a gathering of 14 accomplished speakers and presenters from diverse domains. Notable figures include Lieutenant General (Retired) Luhut Binsar Panjaitan, Dr. H. Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno, Ir. Sakti Wahyu Trenggono, M.M., Ario Bimo Nandito Ariotedjo, S.H., and other luminaries who bring a wealth of expertise and insights to the table.
The 3rd School of Maritime Ambassadors transcends a mere event; it signifies an opportunity for Indonesia's emerging leaders to contribute to sustainable maritime development. With ASPEKSINDO's guidance and their personal dedication, the selected Maritime Ambassadors are poised to emerge as powerful advocates of maritime excellence. Armed with knowledge, commitment, and a global perspective, these ambassadors are set to take the helm and steer Indonesia's maritime destiny toward a prosperous future.
