They expressed enthusiasm and appreciation for the opportunity to see firsthand the rich cultural heritage that they have been studying in the classroom.

According to Ms. Adsina Fibra, the field trip helped students connect classroom concepts with real-world experiences, deepening their reflections on cultural diversity, national identity, and shared human values.

Students also highlighted that the experience broadened their perspectives on Indonesia’s unique historical journey and deep cultural roots. Many felt that visiting the museum enhanced their understanding of the topics discussed in class and strengthened their sense of connection with the local context during their studies in Jakarta.
