How to create a program?

@america is the U.S. Embassy's American Center located in Jakarta, Indonesia. Our mission is to provide a space for young Indonesians to learn more about the United States and to share ideas about issues that are important to both Americans and Indonesians.

In order for us to fulfill this mission, @america has established programming parameters that help us to highlight and increase connections between Indonesia and the United States. We welcome organization and representatives to hold an event in @america! With over 40+ events per month, we are excited to invite everyone to be a part of @america events in order to share more insightful events.

All programs are held in our classroom, exhibition, and performance areas. For a 360-degree tour of @america, click here. Our programs are video recorded and streamed live! That way, your audience can include guests to the @america facility as well as virtual participants who can view your program here.

What do you need to create an event?

  1. It is mandatory to have an American Angle. What is American Angle? American angle means the speakers or presenters have a background or experience in the U.S. or example an alum of college or universities in the U.S. or exchange program to the U.S., ever worked in the U.S. or have certification from an American organization. If you have any questions about this, don’t hesitate to contact us.
