The Voice of Istiqlal (VoIST) is an outreach program initiated by the Istiqlal Mosque to highlight the values of diversity, tolerance, gender equality, and interfaith dialogue in Indonesia and around the world.  The US Embassy has given a grant, through AMINEF, to Istiqlal and its main library to develop an "American Space," which will collaborate in crafting VoIST public programs. American Spaces are public diplomacy tools that support U.S. foreign policy goals and serve to connect the world with the U.S. by providing technologically modern and welcoming places for direct foreign audience engagement. American Spaces programming showcases the breadth and depth of American values, ideals, culture, and perspective on a variety of themes. Under the administration of the Istiqlal Mosque, VoIST will also support the Mosque's priorities to empower an ummat that embraces moderate Islam with an Indonesian and global perspective. 

 

Istiqlal is now seeking someone for the position of VoIST Consultant.
