“Polis kocht!” brings together young people, policymakers, and researchers to discuss foreign and European policy around one table.
In recent years, cooperation between so-called middle powers has gained increasing importance in a rapidly changing global order. Germany and Indonesia, both influential actors in their respective regions, are navigating complex geopolitical dynamics, balancing economic interests, multilateral engagement, and shifting alliances. At the same time, Indonesia’s foreign policy principles, including non-alignment, as well as domestic political and social developments, shape its international positioning. Against this backdrop, questions arise about the opportunities and challenges of closer German-Indonesian cooperation, as well as the role that young people can play in shaping these relations. This event seeks to explore these dynamics from both policy and youth perspectives, with a particular focus on inclusive and forward-looking approaches to bilateral engagement.
To better understand the evolving German-Indonesian partnership and the role of youth in shaping middle-power cooperation, Polis180 warmly invites you to this edition of Polis kocht! For the cooking session, we will prepare ketoprak, a traditional Indonesian dish made of rice noodles, tofu, vegetables, and a rich peanut sauce.
The project „Polis kocht!“ is funded by the Berlin State Center for Civic Education. Additionally the event is supported by IndoHub e.V.
