International Culture Festival and Celebration

On 8 April 2016 my campus held an event called “International Culture Festival and Celebration”. Actually, I felt this event very useful but some audiences looked did not interest with this event. There was some booth from other countries such from France, Belarus, Hakka community, Indonesia, Spain, Netherlands and Germany. We had guest from some senior high schools and public people. There was so many people there. Our rector also came to this event.

At first, we listened some explanation from Hakka community. They explained so many things about Hakka comunity such as the territory from China, history of China and House of Hakka community in the past. I learned so many things about Hakka community here, that I did not ever know before. Then, we learned some France language from Institut Francais. We learned basic language from France such “bonjour, je m’appelle...”. They also explained about the cost from the course if we want to learn France language.

From Belarus booth, they explained about Belarus country. I did not know much about Belarus. After they explained about Belarus, I knew some interesting facts about Belarus. Not only that, we watched short video about Belarus. Unfortunately, the speaker from Belarus could not spoke Russian language.

The audiences looked tired and sleepy at that time, but then we awakened because we had some interested explanation and activities from Spain booth. First, our guest from Spain explained about Spanish country. Then they taught us salsa dance. So many People learned how to dance salsa in the stage.

After that, we had a break time. We enjoyed nasi pecel from Indonesia booth. While we enjoyed some food from Hakka comunity and Indonesia booth, we heard some folk songs from some region of Indonesia. Not only that, we also enjoyed a traditional dance of Indonesia.

For the next session, we heard some explanation from Germany. I amazed with the speaker booth from Germany because they can spoke Indonesia language fluently. I liked the way they explained about Germany it was so fun! They shared some gifts for anyone who can answered their question. The audiences looked very excited. They also showed short video about Germany.

The  last session, we heard some explanation about Netherlands. It was from Yayasan Caraka Mulia. I was so excited because I met my Netherlands teacher there (I am studying in there). We learned about basic Netherlands language, we watched short video about keukenhof, it is very beautiful! They shared some gifts too, for those who can answered their question. It was fun!
