Side Event Konferensi

SIDE EVENT

Side events are a number of forums held outside the official schedule of the Indonesian Women’s Ulama Congress (KUPI) II. Side events can be in the form of seminars, workshops, short training, team building, or self-care and wellness, all of which are directed at efforts to create meeting spaces, so that different perspectives and entities within the KUPI network can exchange experiences and knowledge.

There are three important objectives of holding a side event, namely:

1. Open a room for discussion of themes that are not discussed in international conference forums and congress events due to limited space and time.
2. Brainstorming with congressional audiences related to current issues that require the religious views of a number of female clerics, their relation to gender inequality in various spheres of life.
3. Promote good practice or new program innovations that are related to religious views.

SIDE EVENT ISSUES

There are no restrictions regarding the issues that will be raised in side events. But as much as possible the organizers can connect the big issues of the congress, namely “Strengthening the Role of Women Ulama in a Just Civilization”.

The KUPI-2 committee can give approval for holding a side event with a different theme, taking into account that the issue has an urgent value to be responded to in the future.
