Foreign students taking part in the "Summer Camp 2017" enthusiastically clean and paint the At-Taqwa Mosque in Ketenger village, Baturraden, Banyumas, Central Java, Saturday (20/5). The activity, which was attended by 26 students from 15 countries, was held by Muhammadiyah University of Purwokerto to promote peace and harmony of cultural and social life in Indonesia

The importance of a cultural strategy needs to be stressed again, because it is vital for every nation, and Indonesia is no exception.

Especially for the nation and state of Indonesia, the development of a cultural strategy is increasingly needed to face a recent wave of change disrupting value orientations. The wave of change, which includes views and ideologies that differ from those of Pancasila, weakens social cohesion and disrupts mutual trust.
