Gazing into Indonesian Migrants in Korea .pdf (original) (raw)
This is my PPT note that I presented during the 2nd ASEAN-Korea Migration Network Project/International Experts Meeting on “Exploring the possibility of Co-prosperity among ASEAN and Korea through migration” organized by the IOM MRTC - International Organization for Migration - Migration Research International Organization for Migration (MRTC) and Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia -LIPI (Indonesian Institute of Sciences) held in Jakarta on March 13-14, 2017 at the Hotel Santika Indonesia. I talked about my involvement (as a migrant myself in Korea) with other Indonesian migrants in Korea, especially I was using my capacity as a migrant student who has been tutoring Indonesian migrant workers on their Sunday classes at Indonesia Open University in Korea. Apart from that, I was also talking as someone who has been involving myself in several programs held by PERPIKA (Indonesian Students Association in Korea) as well as by ICC (Indonesia Community Center)—a platform to unite all walks of Indonesian migrant workers in Korea. In particular, I was keen on examining (mostly) the worth-sharing positive activities and endeavors that Indonesian migrants have been undertaking. This is a deliberate effort to shed light on the need to leverage their positive image as compared to the mostly (probably) audible and visible news/reports of abuse/harsh treatment/other negative sentiments regarding Indonesian migrant workers.
