The International Expert Workshop on Sustainable Development held in Jakarta from the 11th to the 13th of March were participated by 40 people from 8 countries. The participants came from various backgrounds including the government, university, research institute, think tank, international organization, donor agency, NGO and the private sector.
11th March 2013
The program consisted of 3 days activities, in the first day the participants were separated into groups, going to different sides of Jakarta, the north-west, the north-east, and the south. These north areas were identified later by the Research Institute for Humanity and Nature (RIHN) presentation to be the most vulnerable and poor area of Jakarta. This tour to interact with the urban community was intended to give our participants a shared view on challenges and values of the urban dwellers in Jakarta urban and suburban area. One group went to a fishermen village, the other one to an informal school for street children and the last group went to visit a pregnant women class and early childhood care and development. Many of our participants had visited Jakarta before but did not have the opportunity to actually go to poor communities and have a meaningful discussion with them. Therefore, for many, it was their first experience.

On the later part of the second day, we had a participatory workshop where participants were asked to brainstorm by discussing and listing down the challenges in urban area on sticky notes.
