What is ACICIS? The Australian Consortium for ‘In-Country’ Indonesian Studies (ACICIS) was established

with government funding in 1994 to provide a unique support network for students

wishing to study in Indonesia. Consisting of 26 member universities, including leading

institutions in the field of Indonesian studies in Australia, the UK and the Netherlands,

ACICIS coordinates various semester-long, 6-week short course, and educational

study tour options in Indonesia. Since its inception, ACICIS has helped over 2,000

students from Australia and abroad attend universities in Indonesia and complete

professional placement modules. Current study options include: professional

practicum courses in Journalism and Development Studies (Jakarta), intensive

Indonesian language study, Islamic Studies and teacher training (Yogyakarta), and an

independent field study and International relations program (Bandung, West Java).

Courses are fully assessed by our Indonesian partner universities and accepted by

member universities for credit towards home university degrees in Australia and

abroad.

2 THE AUSTRALIAN CONSORTIUM FOR ‘IN-COUNTRY’ INDONESIAN STUDIES ACICIS CADPP 2018 PROGRAM PROFILE 3

What is the Creative Arts and Design Professional Practicum (CADPP)? ACICIS’ Creative Arts and Design Professional Practicum (CADPP) is a six-week program designed to

expose Australian and international students to the vibrancy of contemporary Indonesian creative arts and

design, combining academic elements with hands-on practical creative production experience. Running

from early January to mid-February each year, the CADPP combines a formal two-week academic program

with a four-week supervised practicum placement that provides an opportunity for students – or early

career professionals – to gain professional experience working within Indonesia’s creative industries.

The formal academic program blends intensive Indonesian language tuition (40 hours) with a series

of seminars and fieldtrips led by experts and practitioners from Indonesian creative arts and design

organisations (30 hours).

Host Organisations for the four-week practicum placement include companies and organisations operating

in a wide range of fields within Indonesia’s creative industries, including but not limited to: graphic design,

web design, sound design, arts management, gallery curation, performing arts, film and television,

animation, digital and multimedia, app design, as well as architecture and urban design. Placements

provide students with the chance to engage first-hand with the dynamism of contemporary Indonesian art,

design and cultural production. All industry placements provide an English-language working environment.

The CADPP is designed as an accredited university program, to meet requirements for work integrated

learning modules and other practicum-based courses at ACICIS member universities. The CADPP is a

competitive entry program with an anticipated limit of 25-30 participants per program iteration.

The two main aims of the CADPP are to:

1. Provide students with a practical learning experience with a Host Organisation (or individual artist, artist

collective or art/design studio) in an Indonesian creative arts and design workplace environment; and

2. To enhance bilateral understanding through the creation of new partnerships between Australian and

Indonesian counterparts, and to serve as a medium for the exchange of ideas in the field of creative

arts and design.

Atma Jaya Catholic University Universitas Katolik Atma Jaya is one of Indonesia’s premier private universities. Founded in

1960, this dynamic institution has two campuses located in the heart of Jakarta. Atma Jaya has

consistently been ranked in Indonesia’s Top 5 private universities by Globe Asia and Tempo

magazines, and has been ACICIS’ Professional Practicum partner in Jakarta since 2007. Its Faculty

of Business Administration and Communication Sciences, which facilitates the CADPP program,

is staffed by industry professionals with both Jakarta-based and international teaching and

research experience.

The CADPP academic module takes place at the Semanggi campus, located in the centre of

Jakarta’s business and commerce district on Jl. Jenderal Sudirman.

CADPP Structure The structure of the six-week CADPP program is as follows:

� Two weeks of intensive Indonesian language classes (mornings) at Atma Jaya Catholic University,

designed to give participants basic Indonesian language capacity;

And

� A series of seminars and fieldtrips led by experts and practitioners from Indonesian creative arts and

design organisations;

Followed by

� A four-week supervised practicum placement designed to give participants an English-speaking

professional experience within an Indonesian or international organisation (or with an individual

practitioner, artist collective or art/design studio) operating within Indonesia’s creative industries.

A professional Academic Program Officer is assigned to Jakarta for the duration of the CADPP to coordinate all aspects of the program. During the initial two week academic period, the Academic Program Officer will also coordinate a series of introductory visits between students and host organisations.

2018 CADPP Program Dates

The 2018 CADPP program will start with an orientation period at Atma Jaya Catholic University

from Wednesday, 3 January, 2018 – Sunday, 7 January, 2018.

The intensive language program and seminar series will run from 8 -19 January, 2018.

The four-week industry placements commence on Monday, 22 January, and conclude Friday,

17 February, 2018.

Participants and Selection The CADPP is a competitive entry program with a restricted intake. The program targets senior

undergraduate students, Masters of Creative Arts and Design students, and early career

professionals.

In their initial program application, students are asked to nominate sectoral interests and preferred professional industry placements. A student’s preferences will be considered alongside their academic record, demonstrated skill-sets, portfolio and Host Organisation requirements in order to assign the student a placement that is appropriate to both student and Host Organisation.

The CADPP Academic Program Officer and ACICIS Resident Director manage selection and practicum placement allocation. Host Organisations are encouraged to provide details in advance of preferred or required candidate skill‐sets for their workplaces.

ACICIS will confer with Host Organisations prior to confirming students’ placements. Host Organisations may nominate to review participant qualifications or to arrange an interview over Skype or email prior to accepting a practicum candidate.

THE AUSTRALIAN CONSORTIUM FOR ‘IN-COUNTRY’ INDONESIAN STUDIES


Professional Placement Options Industry placements will give students the chance to engage in the vibrancy of contemporary

Indonesian arts and cultural production. Depending on the organisation and current programs,

students can expect to be involved in a wide range of creative arts and design productions.

Students are asked to nominate their interests and preferred industry placements as a part of

the application process. Preferences will in turn be reviewed alongside academic records

and proven skillsets prior to placing students with particular organisations.

Students are assigned mentors in the workplace to guide them over the four-week period.

Organisations for the 2018 CADPP come from a range of sectors, including:

Host Organisations may change as the program develops, and students are advised that

they are applying for the CADPP program, not for a specific placement. Host organisation

representatives may nominate to review participant qualifications and portfolios prior to finalising

acceptance of the candidate(s).

What Does the CADPP Offer Host Organisations? Via a careful selection process, ACICIS endeavours to provide host organisations with competent

interns with prior practical experience.

CADPP participants bring with them good critical abilities, a solid understanding of major

theoretical issues in the fields of Creative Arts and Design, strong design skills, and varying

degrees of professional or volunteer experience.

The majority of participants are native English speakers and/or are enrolled in English language

degree programs at their home university. Practicum placements may see students assigned to

tasks such as:

� Working in the field with local artists and international agencies;

� Assisting with media and communication strategies;

� Designing concepts and preparing content for a variety of media;

� Research assistance and data collection for features;

� Pitching creative ideas for media and content;

The CADPP is designed to meet the Australian university equivalency requirements of half of a full-

timesemesterload(0.25EFTSL)atACICISmemberuniversities,andincludesthefollowingassessable

components:

CADPP Management and Pastoral Care ACICIS manages all aspects of the CADPP from the point of participant arrival to departure. A full-time

Academic Program Officer is assigned to the program. The Academic Program Officer is assisted by the

ACICIS Jakarta Program Coordinator and local staff. ACICIS provides participants with a comprehensive pre-

departure and in-country orientation program, routine and emergency assistance for participants for the

duration of the program, and supervision of the workplace performance.

Over the course of the six-week program the Academic Program Officer will meet regularly with host

organisations to assess the progress of participants and help to iron out any problems that may arise.

Atma Jaya Catholic University provides visa sponsorship for CADPP participants under a ‘Socio-Cultural’

visa. The professional placement is conducted as part of a formal academic program hosted by the

university, and as such, students are strictly prohibited from undertaking any paid work during their

placement.

All CADPP participants must hold comprehensive medical insurance that covers emergency evacuation.

Participants are bound to the conditions of the ACICIS Risk Management Strategy.

Travel as part of an professional placement is permissible so long as it meets the requirements of ACICIS’

Risk Management Strategy. Participants or hosts are encouraged to inform the Academic Program Officer

of any proposed travel plans as early as possible. The CADPP has been designed in such a way that ACICIS

and Atma Jaya Catholic University carry the weight of administrative and pastoral care duties, thus freeing

host organisations of any such burdens.



CADPP Program Protocol The success of the ACICIS Creative Arts and Design Professional Practicum (CADPP) requires the cooperation of ACICIS, all student-participants, and the organisations which host them during their internship. The smooth operation of the Practicum is enhanced when these three ‘stakeholders’ agree to the following protocol:

1. ACICIS agrees to: Arrange a fortnight of university classes at a partner university in Jakarta;

Arrange one month of appropriate work experience/ professional placement for the participant in a relevant work environment where English is a medium of communication;

Have a staff member (Academic Program Officer) present in Indonesia to assist participants throughout the program with academic matters;

Provide appropriate advice and support to the Host Organisation regarding the requirements of the professional placement for the duration of the program;

Provide the home university or employer with an evaluation report on each participant, with a recommended pass/fail grade for the practicum;

Provide participants with full contact details of the Australian Embassy (or the embassy of their home country) in Jakarta, such as may be required for security purposes, and to inform appropriate Embassy officials of the arrangements for the ACICIS Professional Practicum;

Assist participants in obtaining the appropriate visa for the program.

2. The student participant agrees to: Participate fully in the lecture/workshop activities;

Complete all academic assessments as required;

Participate fully in the working life of the host organisation under the supervision of a mentor, to an extent appropriate to be participant’s level of experience and skill;

Behave in accordance with the highest professional standards and in a culturally and contextually appropriate manner.

3. The Host Organisation agrees to accept a specified number of ACICIS Creative Arts and Design Professional Practicum participants for a one-month period of work experience and to provide each participant with:

� A ‘mentor’ who will supervise and advise the participant;

� On-going advice regarding a student’s duties in that work environment;

� A conducive work environment and facilities for the participant (desk/ work space, and access to

equipment);

� Involve the participant in all regular activities of the work environment, as appropriate to the

participant’s level of experience and skill;

� Provide ACICIS with a brief written assessment report by the mentor on the participant by the end of

the placement (1-2 paragraphs- ACICIS will supply a template for this);

� Provide ACICIS with feedback on the program and any suggestions for future improvements

Additional Information The CADPP is open to both Australian and non-Australian citizens/students.

There are no Indonesian language pre-requisites for the program. Unless an applicant

indicates they have strong Indonesian language skills and would like an Indonesian language

placement, work placements will be in English-language environments.

Professional placement schedules are to follow the regular working hours for the host

organisation.

Host organisations may accept more than one intern.

The professional placement is for a maximum of four weeks. Should host organisations wish

to extend the placement period all ACICIS pastoral care duties do not apply. New visas will

be required as Atma Jaya - sponsored visas will not be extended beyond the dates of the

program.

CADPP students have the option to continue with part-time language studies at Atma Jaya

University during the placement period (at their own expense).

Host organisations are not liable for expenses regarding the hostign of a student. Any travel

expenses related to placement activities should be discussed with participants well in-

advance. Should participants be unable to afford additional work-related travel expenses, an

alternative set of duties should be provided.

Host organisations have the right to terminate the placement should candidate performance

be unsatisfactory.

� Students enter Indonesia on a ‘Social-Cultural 211’ (‘Sosio Budaya’) visa, and as such, are

strictly prohibited from carrying out any paid work during their placement, or receiving any

form of financial compensation for their duties performed while on the ACICIS program.
