Equity,Diversity and Inclusion (EDI)

Our Event

Discussions on Thriving as a Resilient Community Held in Inaugural Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Month at Monash University Indonesia

Have you ever wondered how we could thrive as a resilient community? Monash University Indonesia held its inaugural Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Month or EDI Month throughout the Saturdays of October 2023, to explore the question together with students and staff by organising a month-long series of special dialogues and art competition.

Background and Purpose

The communities that surround including those on Monash University, Indonesia are so diverse and yet we have not taken enough time to appreciate and understand their diversity. Taking our communities’ diversity for granted would be a missed opportunity for our collective growth and resilience amid the increasingly complex challenges to equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in our local and global communities. Following other Monash campuses in Australia and Malaysia, Monash University, Indonesia in October will launch campaigns and educational activities with the theme: Let’s pledge to realize EDI in our communities!
