International terrorist activities have been growing concern within international societies after a significant number of attacks and bombings in the beginning of 21st century. Despite its various backgrounds, ideologies, and motives, terrorism has grown into a scale society and nations cannot imagine. States and nations are working together to tackle this escalating phenomenon. And in this respect, societies take a prominent part since they are the ones who directly involved and become victims of the terror.
As a part of the society, students are the ones that have great interests in domestic and international affairs and so does its implications to the society which they live and grow up in. With such complexities as transnational affairs, the phenomenon of growing terror has been a great concern for students. Students are the ones who are educated and expected to take a great part in preventing a new terror to rise. With different cultural background, different disciplines, different experiences, and different perspectives to see terrorism, students from various part of the world can share their experiences, feelings, and ideas on how they see terrorism and how they perceive the greater idea to combat terrorism and prevent the new one to rise up above.
Realizing that students are the one that expected to take a significant part in preventing and combatting terrorism in the grass-root level, Parahyangan Catholic University is being urged to facilitate and accommodate students from all over the world to engage a fruitful discussion and share their ideas and feelings on this issue. In this globalized world, it is not enough to only see an issue domestically or only see it through one perspective. In line with our agenda to promote the concept of global citizenship and peace, Parahyangan Catholic University wants to raise the awareness of students especially our students to be more aware of the phenomena and issues happen around them and happen all around the world. Moreover, by sharing and discussing, students can enhance their insights and can enrich their experience.
