Challenges of The Indonesian Diaspora in The Netherlands During The Covid-19 Pandemic
Abstract
Diaspora is an asset and ambassador of the nation. Their numbers globally has reached 8 million people of which 1.8 million live in the Netherlands. They are potential assets who have adapted to their new living environment, but their inner attachment to Indonesia remains. This group is able to compete in the international arena. However, with the outbreak of the COVID-19 Pandemic, which until now has not subsided, they have their own experiences. Their inner connection with their brothers and sisters in Indonesia who share the same fate in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic encourages them to understand the state of the Indonesian nation fighting a pandemic period that frightens all parties in the world. he circumstances and experiences of the Indonesian Diaspora in the Netherlands warrants investigatation with the aim of examining how they experienced the Pandemic , their social contributions, and how they have received news about the development of the Pandemic in Indonesia through various means of communication. The research method applied is qualitative research with a Narrative Inquiry methodology based on examining the experience of 10 Indonesian-Dutch Diaspora through respondents' answers to questionnaires via Google form. It is argued that the results of such a study can provide useful insights into the existence, contributions, and views of the Indonesian Diaspora in the Netherlands during the COVID-19 Pandemic. In addition, the results of the research could contribute to the development of human science and communication science related to the extraordinary circumstances during the Pandemic.
