Vacancy: United in Diversity - Learning Facilitator, Jakarta

Background

United in Diversity (UID) is a nonprofit foundation founded in 2003 by Universitas Indonesia, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Sinar Harapan with the goal to promote engagement among the public, private and civil society sectors and to foster understanding and collaboration among the three sectors of society for the betterment of Indonesia. To further its mission, UID together with its partners has been coordinating and delivering learning programs for society leaders to increase their capacity for making relevant and innovative interventions to achieve Indonesia’s sustainable Develoment Goals.

UID takes a two-pronged approach in deploying its programs: Some engage the three sectors to collectively tackle issues and challenges (e.g. IDEAS and Co-CLASS), while other programs work with one sector or organization at a time to build their capacity for change and create an understanding of their role in creating a future reality (e.g. MALLS).  But all of them have in common the integration of three types of knowledge: not only the technical knowledge (know what) and practical knowledge (know how/action learning), but also transformational knowledge (knowing who: know the emerging self).

With the growing global awareness for the need for sustainable changes, and along with the changes in Indonesia’s political climate, UID is seeing more and more demands for its services and more importantly growing opportunities to make greater impact for societal transformation.  Therefore, UID is currently seeking the right person to facilitate the learning journey of Indonesia’s future leaders to realize their highest potential for the betterment of Indonesia.
