Bandung, 10 February 2026 — International Relations lecturer at UNPAR, Dr. rer. pol. Albert Triwibowo, served as moderator in a panel discussion titled “Culture in an Age of Uncertainty: The Role of Universities, Cultural Institutions and International Cooperation Today.” The event formed part of the follow-up series to the signing ceremony of Memoranda of Understanding (MoU and MoA) between Goethe-Institut and several universities in Indonesia, including UNPAR, aimed at strengthening cooperation in education, culture, and international dialogue.

The discussion highlighted the strategic role of universities and cultural institutions in responding to global challenges through cross-border collaboration. Prof. Bambang Sugiharto, as one of the speakers, emphasized that culture is not merely a medium for expressing identity, but also serves as a bridge for communication among nations with diverse backgrounds. In this context, Goethe-Institut, as an intercultural organization, plays an important role in fostering dialogue and strengthening cross-cultural understanding. The event also featured two students who shared their experiences participating in programs initiated by Goethe-Institut and Aniwayang Studio.
