The goal of this article is to examine the way character education and multicultural values' education can contribute to a perfect and transformed Indonesia by 2045. At this time (i.e. 2045), the Republic of Indonesia will be 100 years old. The presence of an ideal Indonesian will contribute to high national growth and development. This will depend on the understanding of multiculturalism and cooperative attitudes of the future Indonesian citizens. In such a situation, a variety of methods, media and instruments need to be prepared in order to achieve the country's 2045 dream, among the various aspects which must be considered is character and multicultural values' education. Both forms of education should not be limited to mere conceptualisation, but should lead to an understanding of personality traits in an Indonesian context and of course taking in consideration the globalisation aspect. Early research on contemporary and future Indonesia generates a clear overview of the Indonesian traits. Based on this, the present study investigates two groups comprising 100 respondents, divided into pessimistic and optimistic respondents. The pessimistic respondents are of the view that a competitive Indonesia will depend on today's generation and their character. While, on the contrary, the optimistic respondents indicate that a competitive Indonesia is that which will be able to compete with other nations in this rapidly changing world. However, it is concluded that both groups are optimistic to the new birth of a great Indonesia, if good character and well-planned multicultural education is in place and of course well taught to students.

This research stems from an appreciation of ethnic diversity among university students, and the awareness that differences can result in verbal or physical conflicts. University lecturers have an important role to play in helping prevent and resolve student conflicts. Hence, they are required to create a climate conducive to teaching and learning, where what is taught has meaning in the student's life. In the present research, we focused on "Civic Education"-a course meant to create awareness among students on the importance of nationalism, national identity and peaciful living within society from the Indonesian perspective. To establish how university education can help to develop students into good conflict managers and to understand how they can solve disputes arising from the differences in opinion, this research was carried out in two stages: the first stage involved preliminary information gathering with a view to designing a model for teaching conflict resolution. While the second stage was the implementation phase of the conflict resolution teaching model. The model entailed discussions, practical problem solving skills, and role-playing. The activities carried out comprised of reviewing the literature and course syllabus, collecting information, administering questionnaires, carrying out interviews and finally formulating the model. The interviews were conducted at the campuses of universities prone to conflicts. The researchers employed a qualitative research approach, with the help of a case study method. Data collection techniques comprised of questionnaires, interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings revealed that: 1) Lecturers lack knowledge and skills concerning conflict resolution and prevention among students; and 2) It was established that the implementation of the conflict resolution model has not been effective among students. Because they do not understand the stages involved in a peaceful conflict resolution or prevention process.
