Theme
The
Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), was established
in 1967, and ten member states, namely: Brunei Darussalam,
Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines,
Singapore, Thailand, and Viet Nam. In 2000, the Initiative for
ASEAN Integration Work Plan was formulated for 2002-2008, and a
second Work Plan was formulated for 2009-2015, all with the
intention of achieving an ASEAN Community. The second Work Plan
embodies three blueprints in the areas of economic integration,
political security integration, and socio-cultural integration.
With 2015 just in the horizon, the 6th Southeast
Asian Biannual Conference problematizes the impact of the ASEAN
Integration on religions, values and identities of the people in
the ten member states, hence the theme ?Religion, Values,
Identity and the ASEAN Integration.? This theme is intended to
encompass such topics as: local philosophies, systems of values
and the ASEAN integration; impact of the ASEAN integration on
religion, values and identity; bridging diversities in the
region; new possibilities in education and human capital;
integration and the question on language; and other similar
issues.
