Universitas Widyatama National Seminar on Creative Indonesia Strategy
The increasing dependence of ASEAN member countries on other regions of the world, as well as the desire to reduce development gaps, prompted the ASEAN community to form the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) blueprint on November 20th, 2007, in Singapore, which will begin implementation in 2015. The AEC is projected to transform the ASEAN region into an area with free flow of goods, services, investment, skilled labor, and freer capital flow.
Based on this idea, Widyatama University held a national seminar with the theme “Creative Indonesia Strategy: Welcoming the ASEAN Economic Community 2015” with the following sub-themes:
- Cultural creativity: language and arts and their commercial aspects
- Empowerment of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs)
- Efficient application and use of advanced technology
- Information Technology and E-commerce
- Intellectual Property Rights
- Development of a creative economy based on design media
This activity is expected to support the world of education in preparing both teaching staff and students to face the demands of AEC 2015 in the future.
