BACKGROUND

The Australian Indonesian Association (AIA) of SA, in collaboration with affiliated Indonesian community groups and the Honorary Consulate of the Republic of Indonesia in SA, will host the 3rd annual INDOfest on April 11, 2010, in Rymill Park.

INDOfest will once again provide an exciting opportunity for the South Australian public to experience a taste of our nearest neighbour, Indonesia.

This year, the organising committee has decided to streamline the festival program to focus on our most successful main event - the Family Fun Day in Rymill Park. By concentrating efforts on this one day event, we hope to increase the quality, standard and profile of our great festival, and remain committed to providing a free event to the South Australian community.

The creation of INDOfest, initiated by the Honorary Consul of the Republic of Indonesia in SA and the Australian Indoneisan Association, brings together South Australian-Indonesian interests in a celebration with the whole community.

The objectives of INDOfest are to:

1. * Introduce Indonesia to South Australia through showcasing Indonesian art, dance, culture, music, history and food;
   

2. * Actively engage members of the South Australian community in these aspects of Indonesia through contributions from South Australian schools and universities and public participation in INDOfest activities;
   

3. * Encourage a greater understanding of Indonesia and enhance Australia-Indonesia relations;
   

4. * Project a positive and contemporary face of Indonesia to South Australia to assist future developments between the two regions;
   

5. * Encourage interest and study of Indonesian culture and language.
