Self-Reflection
Participating in the Hari Kebudayaan 2023 program was an enriching and eye-opening experience. served as a platform to honor and exhibit the rich tapestry of cultural traditions, fostering a deeper sense of appreciation and understanding among participants. I had the privilege to play an active role in contributing towards the program's success by being a member of the organizing committee, all the while acquiring significant personal insights.
This program taught me a vital lesson regarding the significance of effective teamwork and collaboration. The planning and execution of quite a large-scale cultural event necessitated the synchronized efforts of diverse individuals with varying skill sets and backgrounds. While I faced a unique challenge as the sole member in my unit responsible for multimedia, I received valuable guidance and support from the program director. Together, we navigated the demanding task of creating posters, designs, and visual materials. Through this experience, I gained a profound understanding of the importance of seeking assistance when necessary and the importance of perseverance in delivering high-quality work.

I had to stretch my creative abilities, ensuring that the posters and designs effectively captured the essence of the program and appealed to the target audience. It required careful time management, attention to detail, and the ability to prioritize tasks effectively. Though the workload was demanding, witnessing the positive impact of my efforts during the program made it all worthwhile.
Additionally, being the sole member in my unit taught me the importance of adaptability and resourcefulness. I had to find innovative solutions to any technical or design challenges that arose.

This experience honed my ability to work independently and efficiently under pressure.

The traditional games competition brought participants together, fostering a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect. The "HAKE SHOW" showcased the rich tapestry of cultural traditions through the traditional fashion show and cultural booths, sparking curiosity and inspiring meaningful conversations.
