Participating in the international arena is certainly one of the pride of every person, especially if the participation is carried out by students who receive BIDIKMISI, an underprivileged and outstanding education scholarship. So of course it will be an encouragement and motivation for others that everyone has the opportunity to take part in making Indonesia proud regardless of their background.

Abd. Gafur and Ardiansyah, two students of the Faculty of Economics and Business, majoring in S1 Accounting at the University of Mataram, are two of the thousands of Bidikmisi students at the University of Mataram who were able to make Indonesia proud in Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia in the Indonesia Youth Culture Exchange (IYCE) and Youth Excursion (Youtex) activities on January 21-28, 2016 yesterday.

This activity also shows the seriousness of Mataram University in preparing its students to compete not only at the national level, but also actively on an international scale. Especially with Indonesia’s entry into the Asean economic community event which was official at the end of December, of course through this activity is one of the efforts to be able to increase competition in it.

IYCE and YOUTEX, are programs initiated by the International Youth Forum in cooperation with the respective Embassies in each country. This program is conducted to introduce Indonesian youth to the culture and technological development of other countries.

Seven Days in Thailand, four Days in Singapore and Malaysia.

Activities in Thailand are more oriented towards youth exchange in the cultural field. The first three days the youth were given the opportunity to interact more closely with the local Thai community with the concept of staying at each local resident’s house. Of course, this does little to give the youth an understanding of how Thais go about their daily activities. Then the next two days the youth conducted social activities in the hills of Thailand, precisely in Sukhotai province. Through this activity, Indonesian youth can study various social problems and formulate solutions. Then the last two days the youth were given the opportunity to tour Bangkok, the main city of Thailand. Traveling in the city of Bangkok certainly gives you a sense of admiration for Thailand’s economic progress and the discipline of its people. In terms of the economy, the Bangkok government is very supportive of the growth of small businesses by organizing various activities, such as local food festivals, bazaars, etc. In terms of discipline, it appears that the community is very obedient to the rules that apply, garbage is rarely seen in public places and is very neat. Surely this is a lesson for the youth to be able to create solutions in Indonesia.

The next four days in Singapore and Malaysia were more oriented towards introducing youth to technology and entrepreneurship. Through this activity, it is hoped that it will bring out the creativity of young people in terms of technology and entrepreneurship so that it can make a major contribution to the progress of Indonesia.
