We're honoured to be joined by the SAUDC team from Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta Indonesia.

The University is named in honour of Gadjah Mada (1290-1364) who led a campaign to unify the Indonesian Archipelago under the Kingdom of Majapahit. He is now regarded as a national hero in Indonesia and the nation's official motto of "Unity in Diversity" (Bhinneka Tunggal Ika) is derived from the Javanese poem "Kakawin Sutasoma" which was written around the 14th century during the reign of Hayam Wuruk who ruled Majapahit at the height of it's power.

Today the SAUDC team will be telling us about their work.

I was originally hesitant to release this episode given recent events involving the Russian Federation.

I've noticed that this show has become very popular in Russia during these last few days.

I hope these listeners can use my podcast as a tool for peace, tolerance and inclusivity, Russia's people deserve a future where they can enjoy the same rights and privilege's as those in other countries.

I for one, believe that future is possible.
