SCHOLARSHIP & EDUCATION FAIR

On March 26-27, 2012 scholarship and education fair held in Satya Wacana Christian University, Salatiga. The activity is about the scholarships, faculty presentations until cultural sharing. In this activity, participants were given the opportunity to ask questions about what was presented.

There are many interesting things in this activity. For example, on March 26, 2012 there is a cultural sharing from 3 Koreans. They convey briefly about their culture such as traditional clothes, food, and their music & dance. They present their material using Indonesian. Although they can not using Indonesian perfectly, they are able to present the material very interesting.

There are also interesting things on March 27, 2012. The interesting thing is sharing of experience as a lecturer. Sharing is done by three people, namely Toar Sumakul who had studied in Liverpool, UK; Anne Timothy who had studied in Australia; and Adita who had studied in Japan. They spoke about their preparation, their activities, and experiences. Even Toar also tell the details things like the most frequently spoken in the shops in that place.

Next, there is also a very interesting presentation of FIK. They present a simulation of emergency response for disaster victims. One thing that comes to my mind is most of them have the talent to play theater. They look really prepare for their presentation so that it becomes very interesting.

Another interesting case is when the cultural sharing with 2 Japanese. On this activity, they demonstrate how they cook ikayaki, dishes from their countries. They also explain about what they cook. Actually, this activity is not a new thing for me because I ever practice to cook okonomiyaki when I was learning Japanese in senior high school. But of course this is interesting because it was done by Japanese. It is more interesting when the participants were allowed to taste it.

This is an exciting experience and can give new knowledges.
