Indofest Schools Program

The Indofest Schools Program got off to a roaring start earlier this month. As part of the program, local Indonesian groups have been visiting schools throughout to share Indonesian culture with the students Some schools have been lucky to receive a sample of what’s in store in the upcoming Cultural and Culinary Festival on Sunday, September 25. Although we are only half way through the program, it is proving to be very popular on Indofest’s social media accounts with lots of positive feedback and sharing and liking of photographs shared by the schools and participants. A big terima kasih to the Department for Education and Child Development for sponsoring this program! For more about the Indofest Schools Program head to our website.

Marvel at the skill Wayan Dudug displays in transforming dull pieces of wood into masterpieces fit for a Raja’s garden. Learn about the Javanese and Balinese alphabet.
