Many of the solutions proposed to improve race relations in Malaysia focus on national-level policies and Blueprints. Are there different ways in which racial divisiveness can be addressed? In this webinar, we speak to three Malaysians who have worked to bridge gaps between ethnicities through storytelling, new media, the arts and public campaigns. Our three panellists will share their success stories and how their work helps in normalising difficult conversations about race and identity in multiethnic Malaysia.

Kebanyakan solusi yang diutarakan untuk menambahbaik hubungan antara kaum di Malaysia berkisar tentang dasar-dasar di peringkat nasional. Wujudkah cara lain untuk merapatkan jurang di antara kaum? Webinar kali ini akan menampilkan tiga panelis yang telah menggunakan medium penceritaan, media baharu, kesenian dan kempen untuk membina naratif Malaysia yang lebih bersatu. Ketiga-tiga panelis akan berkongsi inisiatif-inisiatif yang telah mereka lakukan untuk membiasakan perbualan-perbualan mengenai kaum dan identiti di negara Malaysia.
