Abstract

Many Indonesian Diaspora are studying as international students at various universities worldwide. Cross-cultural communication plays a vital role in actualizing Indonesian students, especially in interacting with local residents. This study aims to determine the pattern of cross-cultural interaction and understand the six cultural dimensions in the Asian continent through the perspective of the Indonesian Diaspora, namely Indonesian students abroad. This research examines the construction of meaning that occurs using research instruments in the form of in-depth interviews and documentation studies in the perspective of Hofstede's Cultural Dimension Theory. This research is based on the cross-cultural communication paradigm, namely dialectics as an integration between functionalist and critical paradigms with a descriptive qualitative research approach. The study results indicate a discrepancy between Hofstede's functional data and the social reality experienced by diaspora students. Several cultural dimensions, such as power distance, individualism vs collectivism, and indulgence vs restraint, experience reinterpretation in everyday social practices. Communities with low individualism scores tend to be closed to foreigners, while collectivist societies show openness and responsiveness to newcomers. These findings confirm that cultural dimensions are contextual and dynamic and are greatly influenced by the negotiation of meaning in intercultural social interactions. Thus, this study enriches the understanding of cultural flexibility and the importance of a micro approach in reading cross-cultural communication in international education.

Abstract

The GenRe Ambassador Program in West Kalimantan strategically empowers teenagers, particularly by increasing their knowledge of reproductive health, building mutually supportive communities, and encouraging them to act as agents of change in their communities. This research aims to analyze the program's implementation using a participatory communication theory approach, involving two-way dialogue, active participation, heteroglossia, and dialogical interaction. This study was conducted using a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with six informants, including the West Kalimantan GenRe Forum Chair, GenRe Ambassadors, and other active members. Direct observations were also made to understand the program's dynamics. The study is based on participatory communication theory developed by Bessette (2004), which emphasizes the importance of active community involvement in development through dialogical and inclusive communication. The results show that the program increased teenagers' awareness of life planning and reproductive health, strengthened two-way dialogue, and built supportive social networks. However, social stigma surrounding discussions of reproductive health and limited facilities remain as challenges that need to be overcome. The implications of this research support the achievement of the SDGs, particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), SDG 4 (Quality Education), and SDG 5 (Gender Equality). With further support from the government and society, this program has great potential to evolve into a more effective and inclusive youth empowerment platform.
