Program Overview
The Diversity Voyage program is an experiential learning and participatory educational program designed for the promotion of global citizenship awareness. Launched in 2014, Diversity Voyage is organized by a Japanese organization called Global Incubation x Fostering Talents (GiFT) in collaboration with numerous partners in Southeast Asia. The program creates unique cross-cultural experiences for students at Toyo University, a private university in Japan founded in 1887, and university students and youth in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, etc. with over 1,500 individuals having participated in the program to date. The main purpose of the program is to train global citizens and mobilize them towards contributing to solving social and environmental challenges.
The Diversity Voyage program in Bali has been implemented in partnership with Earth Company since 2016. While the first five batches have been held in person in Ubud, the upcoming batch in March 2021 will be delivered online given the current travel restrictions and open to Indonesians across the archipelago.
The March 2021 program will focus on the themes of sustainable tourism and circular economy by using Mana Earthly Paradise, a next generation eco hotel in Ubud, as a case study.
- How do we promote sustainable tourism and circular business models in Indonesia, Japan, and beyond?
- How will sustainable tourism and circular economy look like in the post-covid world?
These are some of the questions participants will delve into in the program, at the end of which participants will make tangible proposals.
