The theme of this year’s World Values Day on October 15 is “Values In Action”, and it could not be more relevant to the aims of Values 20 (V20) which launched this September.

It has always been important for values to inform and improve the policies and decisions that affect us all, and the Covid-19 pandemic epitomises this. Yet there’s a relatively small evidence base proving how values can best take effect.

It’s in this context that a global community of values experts and practitioners has come together to form V20. The aim is to support policymakers around the world by finding people-centred public policy solutions based on values, which help improve societal outcomes and overcome global challenges. By demonstrating the “value of values” we also hope, in the long run, to become an official G20 engagement group.

The V20 group has already set to work through three taskforces relevant to the G20’s strategic goals, developing useful insights to inform policy recommendations under the themes of “Global Values”, “Leadership Values” and “Quality of Life Values”.

At its core, V20’s mission is to facilitate an open-minded exploration of practical values – not embark on a scholarly classification of philosophical concepts. That’s why, in addition to the important work of our taskforces, V20 is configured to listen rather than lecture. It’s why we offer a platform instead of a prescription. It’s why we’re putting “people” into the phrase “people-centred policymaking”.

We believe that the essence of values exists not on paper, but in the individual actions of billions, and that by reaching out to the rich tapestry of human diversity, with its array of divergent lived experience, we will inform policymaking with values most likely to be useful in the real world.

It is to harvest these practical “Values in Action” that we are welcoming people from around the world, of all ages and backgrounds, to join a special V20-hosted Tweetup on the “Value of Values” between 1-2pm GMT during World Values Day this year. Those joining can tell the world, via the Tweetup, how their values impact their lives and their communities.

At V20, we’ve already launched our own crowdsourcing campaign that will conclude in early November, through which people are sending us “what works” videos about successful and practical values from their lives, communities and countries.

Our approach is designed to be bottom-up. We believe it’s important to take people’s ideas and insights about values upwards, into the purview of world leaders at the G20 and beyond. With that in mind, all of V20’s activities will contribute to a V20 Communique for presentation to the G20 leaders, to demonstrate the transformational benefits that evidence-based, value-oriented public policy can deliver.

We fully appreciate the immense scale of this task, and that it cannot be achieved overnight. Ensuring a prominent role for values in policymaking is perhaps a perpetual undertaking and will require much international collaboration, consultation and creativity.

It’s one that we’re optimistic about and so we’ve configured V20 for the long term. A network hub will leverage the huge potential of this growing community; a knowledge platform will share insights and best practice and inspire engagement; and the crowd-sourcing campaign will be annual. This will ensure continuity for the V20 organising bodies in future years, each drawn from the country holding the G20 presidency and coordinating the work of a wide range of individuals and organisations from all over the world.

In tune with the other admirable values organisations participating in World Values Day, as well as the excellent work of the official G20 engagement groups, at V20 we’re playing our part in helping as wide an audience as possible to discover, debate, publicise and be inspired by the practical values that can lead to positive action in our world.

The V20’s Unique Selling Point goes one step further by ensuring that these outputs have the best chance possible to influence global, national, regional and local decision-makers, in governmental, business or other organisations. Values have always had value, but they can have much more value when they inform policy and action, and that’s what we’re dedicated to at V20.

Jakarta, 25 January 2022 – The first V20 Summit was launched in 2020 aimed at deepening understanding of how values ​​can strengthen public policy. V20 is a global community of values experts and practitioners that seek to actively engage with the Group of Twenty (G20). Previously, V20 was successfully held in Saudi Arabia in 2020 and in Italy in 2021. In its third year, V20 2022 will be held on 20-21 October 2022 in Bali, and Nenilai has been entrusted as its organizer.

Nenilai is a movement initiated by Dayalima Abisatya together with BAPPENAS (Ministry of National Development Planning of the Republic of Indonesia), Indika Energy, Pantarei Communications, and Stoik Trisula. Nenilai aims to build Indonesia through surveys and meaningful dialogues about the values important to the individual, the community, and the nation. On July 2 until December 31 2020, Nenilai conducted an online National Value Survey that reached 50,542 respondents aged 15 years and above throughout Indonesia.

Values 20 trusted Nenilai to be the Organizing Committee of the V20 2022 in Indonesia. It was marked with a handover ceremony that took place during V20 2021 Summit in Rome, Italy, on the 15^th of October 2021. The Summit of V20 2022 this year will be held in Bali on 20-21 October 2022.

“It is a great honor for Nenilai to share globally how Indonesians across generations adhere to values ​​such as “Gotong Royong (sense of community)” and “Diversity”. By hosting the V20 Summit 2022, Nenilai hopes to expand engagement and present real examples in the application of values ​​for the transformation of Indonesia into a more advanced nation and to play a significant role globally,” said Dr Vivi Yulaswati, Expert Staff to the Minister, Social Sector and Poverty Reduction at National Development Planning (BAPPENAS).

Starting from its inception, the V20 intends to demonstrate how values ​​play a critical role in supporting the achievement of the G20 policy goals and realizing the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. “We believe that by increasing awareness of the systemic role of value, why and how value emerges from processes, institutions and structures, we can substantially increase the coherence, effectiveness, and longevity of a policy,” explained Dr Mandeep Rai, V20 Founding Group.

The theme of V20 2020 in Saudi Arabia was “The Value of Values”, while in Italy 2021 it was “Values ​​in Action”, which aimed to convert the current urgent global crisis into an opportunity for inclusive transformation. “This year, the V20 2022 is themed ‘Values ​​at the Center’. We hope to deepen the understanding of values ​​in public policy with data-based and human-focused policy solutions that contribute to overcoming global challenges in line with the theme of the Indonesian G20 Presidency, RECOVER TOGETHER, RECOVER STRONGER,” said Dr Ghazi Binzagr, V20 Founding Group.

Alissa Wahid, V20 2022 Co-Sherpa, explained the importance of public awareness on the significance of values ​​and culture that we hold and live by together. “The understanding of values ​​can provide an important reflection space for us as a nation. Furthermore, there are still values ​​that hinder progress, which is reflected by the high level of cultural entropy in our society. We need to seriously implement social engineering efforts to keep moving forward to claim the benefits of the demographic bonus in the near future and in conjunction with Indonesia’s 100th anniversary.”

With this basis, this year’s V20 seeks to develop policy recommendations based on the priorities set by the G20 2022. “V20 uses the approach of the Sustainability Compass model from Compass Education, which is the balance of the compass point of views: Nature, Economy, Wellbeing, and Society. The V20 will also propose a set of values ​​for the G20 community based on the theme and strategic priorities of the G20 2022, the G20 declaration of the past years, as well as a general understanding of the different stages of growth of different nations within the G20,” said Prof. Dr. Makarim Wibisono, V20 2022 Co-Sherpa.

The V20 2022 Summit will also feature cultural events to facilitate the dissemination of key messages and to allow for the public’s involvement. In addition, prior to the V20 2022 Summit in October, there will be a series of virtual activities such as a Film Week in May, and a Performing Arts Week in August. Both events will also have webinars featuring various values-based practices from different institutions, both from Indonesia as well as from other G20 member countries.

“The basic values ​​of Pancasila can be introduced by Indonesia at the international level through the V20. In the face of a pandemic, the world cannot be divided but should stand together to help each other and collaborate. The V20 program is expected to encourage the growing awareness of the Indonesian people as well as the world about the importance of understanding the value of inclusivity, that can be found in our ideological foundation: Bhineka Tunggal Ika (Unity in Diversity). In addition, all activities of the business world, as one of the key driving forces of a country’s economy, must always pay attention to the aspects of Governance, Social, and Environmental. This is important to build a sustainable economy in Indonesia, and everywhere else in the world,” said M. Arsjad Rasjid PM, V20 2022 Advisory Board and Chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
