Civil society in Indonesia has not been completely
realized! With more than 200 million of population spread out over thousand islands, various livelihood, education,
economic, tradition and culture, Indonesia has many potential constrains. Access inequality brings many
development gaps
among
its areas, moreover, the economic improvement
is
merely
enjoyed by those who have access. That’s why strengthening civil
society is very important. Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta wants to learn
it much in a Civil Society training with Let’s Make Synergy and Wake Up for Nation as the theme.

coordinator, Tri Wahyu KH, S.H held on 20th and 28th of
November 2012, is the start point of the
training series. It opens the participants’ insight
about what actually the understanding of civil society is. The civil society training is continued on 7th - 9th of December
2012 in Wisma Sargede Yogyakarta with the participants from different areas

civil society is and what problems people are facing about. Visiting some social organizations
such as Satunama Foundation and Ombudsman Republik Indonesia (ORI) and having group
discussion with the representative of Lembaga Ombudsman Swasta (LOS) give comprehension to the
