European Union in Indonesia

Did you know that Portugal offers stunning sceneries for anyone who loves the sea, especially those who enjoy kayaking? 🤩 The Benagil Caves and Ponta da Piedade rock formations provide incredible coastal exploration, particularly in the Algarve. Summer in Portugal? Why not! 😊

Honouring Hari Pendidikan Nasional 🇮🇩✨

Today, we celebrate the spirit of “Tut Wuri Handayani” – an Indonesian educational philosophy meaning “from behind, giving support.” It reminds us that the best educators guide, encourage and empower learners to reach their full potential, fostering independence, confidence, and growth.

This philosophy doesn’t stop at the classroom – it inspires opportunities that take learning beyond borders. Through the EU’s flagship Erasmus+ Programme, Indonesian students and lecturers are empowered to study, teach and exchange ideas across Europe. In 2025 alone, 260 Indonesians received Erasmus+ scholarships, while 75 European students and scholars came to Indonesia. Since 2004, nearly 3,000 Indonesians have benefitted, gaining knowledge, experiences and connections that last a lifetime.

Education, at its heart, is about support, empowerment and opening doors—locally and globally 🌍.

This Labour Day, we celebrate the people behind every contribution, no matter how big or small.

Because every effort matters in shaping a more inclusive future ✨
