As part of the United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) Summer Program at Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), held from 21 to 25 September 2026 in collaboration with the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia and the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates, UAEU students spent the third and fourth days of the program discovering Yogyakarta beyond its role as a tourist destination, as a place to learn about heritage, culture, nature, and community. Centered on the theme “Bridging Culture and a Sustainable Future,” the program featured workshops on local wisdom, immersive community experiences in Pentingsari Tourism Village (covering batik, gamelan, and plowing), and studies on cultural preservation and disaster mitigation at Borobudur and Mount Merapi.

On Day 3 (Wednesday, 23 September 2026), the program began with a visit to Pentingsari Tourism Village, where the students took part in a community immersion activity focused on sustainable rural development. Rather than simply observing, they were introduced to local traditions through hands-on activities, including making batik, playing gamelan, and [plowing]. These activities allowed the students to engage directly with local cultural practices while learning about the community’s role in preserving and developing its cultural heritage. The experience also highlighted how tourism can become a platform for communities to share their knowledge, traditions, and everyday way of life with visitors.

In the afternoon, the students joined a Lava Tour at Mount Merapi, where they learned about disaster mitigation and how communities on the volcano’s slopes adapt to living with natural risk.

On Day 4 (Thursday, 24 September 2026), the program moved from nature to heritage with a visit to Borobudur Temple. Exploring this UNESCO World Heritage Site, the students learned about the history, architecture, and cultural significance of the world’s largest Buddhist temple. 

During the visit to Borobudur, Maitha, one of the UAEU students, shared her impressions of the heritage site. “We walked from the first level to the eighth level, and I found the structure really interesting. I can also see the river and the mountains from here,” she said. For Maitha, the visit offered an opportunity to learn about Indonesia’s heritage and culture firsthand while experiencing the historical site and its surrounding landscape. The experience also allowed her to appreciate how cultural heritage and nature are closely connected in the destination. 

The program concluded with a Farewell Dinner, where Dr. Danang Sri Hadmoko, S.Si., M.Sc., Vice Rector for Research, Business Development, and Partnership, delivered a closing address to the delegation. In his remarks, Dr. Danang highlighted that the program could serve as an initiation for broader international collaboration. He also emphasized that meaningful learning goes beyond the classroom, and that the environment, from local communities to cultural and natural settings, is itself a powerful place to learn 

“This program is more than a short visit. It can be the beginning of broader international partnerships, and it shows that the best learning often happens in communities, culture, and nature, not just in the classroom,” he said.

From a village workshop to the slopes of Merapi and the terraces of Borobudur, the program showed how Yogyakarta offers learning rooted in heritage, culture, and nature. Beyond strengthening students’ intercultural skills, hosting international students creates a more global learning ecosystem, expands academic networks, and enhances UGM’s visibility as a world-class university that remains grounded and impactful. Through the UAEU Summer Program, UGM continues to advance its commitment to sustainable development and global engagement by offering learning experiences that connect students with communities, culture, and the environment. 

Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) hosted students from United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) for the UAEU Summer Program 2026, held from September 21 to 25, 2026. The program was conducted in collaboration with the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia and the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates. 

The program officially began on Monday, September 21,  with a campus tour to give participants an initial introduction to UGM and its surroundings, followed by opening remarks from Prof. Dr. Wening Udasmoro, S.S., M.Hum., DEA., UGM Vice Rector for Education and Teaching.

In her remarks, Dr. Wening warmly welcomed the participants to UGM and highlighted the value of the study visit as an opportunity for intercultural exchange. She also encouraged the participants to make the most of their time in Yogyakarta by actively engaging in the program and embracing new experiences during their time in Yogyakarta.

“Universities are spaces for people from different backgrounds to meet, exchange perspectives, and learn,” said Dr. Wening.

Following the opening session, participants received an orientation at UGM and life in Yogyakarta session led by Tyas Ikhsan Hikmawan, S.Si., M.Si., Ph.D., Head of UGM’s Office of International Affairs (OIA). The session introduced participants to the university and the city before they began the academic and cultural activities of the program. 

Participants then joined a Local Insight session on Indonesian Language delivered by Dr. Sailal Arimi, M.Hum. The session introduced them to the Indonesian language and its use in everyday communication, followed by a discussion and Q&A on Indonesian language and culture. They later gathered for a welcoming dinner at Ayom Resto, where they had the opportunity to connect in a more informal setting.  

Beyond the academic sessions, the experience has also given participants a warm first impression of life at UGM. Mouza, one of the UAEU students, reflected on her experience so far, 

“It’s been so much fun, and we’re really happy with the hospitality. I can’t wait for the days ahead,” she stated.

The following day brought participants closer to Indonesian culture, society, and community development. The participants joined a Local Insight session on Cultural Heritage Tourism and Community Development delivered by Dr. Eng. Ir. Laretna Trisnantari Adhisakti, M.Arch. The session examined the relationship between cultural heritage, tourism, and local communities, followed by a discussion and Q&A.

The focus then shifted to Indonesian Society and Culture through a Local Insight session led by Dicky Sofjan, M.A., MPP., Ph.D. The discussion introduced participants to broader perspectives on Indonesian society and cultural life. 

In the afternoon, the group visited UGM’s Faculty of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing (FMPHN). The visit included an introduction to the faculty and a tour of its facilities, followed by a visit to the Department of Nutrition and Health. The group also took part in a hands-on workshop on healthy Indonesian cuisine at the FMPHN Culinary Laboratory. 

Across the series of activities, participants gained academic and cultural insights into Indonesia through classroom sessions, campus visits, and hands-on experiences. The program also gave students from UAEU opportunities to exchange perspectives with members of the UGM community and gain a closer understanding of life in Indonesia. The five-day experience brought academic exchange and cultural learning together while giving participants the opportunity to build new connections at UGM and in Yogyakarta. 

 

Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) concluded PIONEER (Program for International Orientation and New-student Empowerment to Enhance Readiness) on Friday, 25 September 2026, with International Cultural Day as its final programme. The event brought together UGM international and local students to celebrate cultural diversity through performances, international cuisine, cultural booths, and cultural exchange activities.

Held at Museum UGM, the event offered participants an opportunity to experience diverse cultures while connecting with members of the UGM international community. Through cultural performances, international culinary offerings, and interactive booths, participants were invited to explore cultural traditions and learn from one another in a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere.

The final day of PIONEER 2026 began with opening remarks from the Vice Rector for Research, Business Development, and Partnerships, Dr. Danang Sri Hadmoko, S.Si., M.Sc. In his remarks, he highlighted the importance of cultural exchange in fostering connections among students and creating opportunities for members of the UGM community to learn from one another and appreciate different cultural backgrounds.

“In higher education, especially at UGM, it is not only about learning in the classroom, studying statistics and mathematics, or learning Bahasa Indonesia. More importantly, it is about building friendships. With the facilities, connections, and environment available at UGM, you have the opportunity to learn from one another and gain a better understanding of different perspectives. Hopefully, when you return to your home countries, you will bring your experiences from Yogyakarta with you and share the connections you have made,” he said. 

The event also featured two talk show sessions with high-achieving local and international UGM students, providing a platform for participants to exchange experiences and perspectives. Through the discussions and Q&A sessions, participants gained insights into academic life and cross-cultural experiences at UGM while fostering greater understanding and connections among students from diverse backgrounds. The cultural celebration continued with cultural performances by international students from Thailand, Lithuania, and South Korea, showcasing diverse musical and cultural expressions. 

Not only UGM local and international students, the event was also attended by representatives from various UGM faculties, reflecting the university’s efforts to create a welcoming and engaging learning environment for international students beyond the classroom. 

Visitors explored a diverse range of flavours from various countries, including Myanmar’s Three Styles of Tea Leaf Salad, Pakistani Biryani, Turkmenistan’s Traditional Turkmen Pilaf, Afghanistan’s Kabuli Palau, and Timor-Leste’s Batar Daan, alongside specialties from France, Saudi Arabia, United Kingdom, and other countries. Through the cultural booths, visitors had the opportunity to enjoy a wide array of culinary offerings while gaining deeper insights into the cultures and traditions behind them.

Additionally, the event also featured a cultural booth by the Yogyakarta Special Region Tourism Office, which introduced local cultural heritage through a live cooking demonstration of traditional apem, traditional clothing try-on activities, and a batik experience. The collaboration provided international students with opportunities to engage directly with Yogyakarta’s cultural traditions while strengthening connections between the university and local stakeholders in promoting cultural exchange.

As the final programme of PIONEER 2026, International Cultural Day brought the series to a close by celebrating diversity and intercultural connections within the UGM community. The event provided a platform for students to exchange experiences, appreciate different cultures, and build meaningful connections across cultural backgrounds, reflecting UGM’s commitment to fostering an inclusive campus community that is locally rooted and globally respected. 

What does it mean to become part of an international organization as a university student? Beyond joining a community, it is an opportunity to develop leadership, expand global perspectives, and contribute to meaningful change. These values were reflected in Youth Today x Join AIESEC (YTJA) 2026, organized by AIESEC in UGM as part of its annual membership recruitment.

Held on September 12, 2026 at the Harjono Danoesastro Auditorium, Faculty of Agriculture UGM, YTJA 2026 served as a continuation from the AIESEC 2026 recruitment process. It also served as a platform for students to gain a deeper understanding of AIESEC’s values, leadership development, and opportunities for global engagement.

The recruitment process was held in August during the Gelanggang Expo 2026, attracting more than 850 applicants from the 2025 cohort and new UGM students, reflecting students’ enthusiasm for opportunities to learn, connect, and grow through an international youth-led organization. 

In YTJA 2026, through leadership discussions and sharing sessions, participants were introduced to the idea that leadership is shaped through experience, continuous learning, and the willingness to step beyond one’s comfort zone. The stories of AIESEC in UGM members who participated in international exchanges in Vietnam and Thailand also highlighted how cross-cultural experiences can foster adaptability, intercultural understanding, and a commitment to creating social impact.

Aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4: Quality Education, these exchange experiences demonstrated how youth can contribute to communities through education while learning from diverse cultural environments. For AIESEC in UGM, international exchange is not merely about travelling abroad, but about empowering young people to become globally minded individuals who are ready to take action and contribute to sustainable development.

Participants were also given the opportunity to interact directly with members from various AIESEC in UGM departments. This allowed them to explore different areas of organizational work, understand the responsibilities of each department, and discover opportunities for personal and professional growth.

“This event gives an opportunity for new students to get to know various campus organizations, like AIESEC in UGM. In AIESEC, we value learning and development, so new students have nothing to fear from us,” explained Falah Aqlyalanadhif, Staff Member of Talent Analytics & Consultant.

Karin, one of the YTJA 2026 participants, shared her positive experience of the event.

“It was very fun,” she said. “From the beginning, the seniors welcomed us with such warm energy. Then we were divided into several groups, in which I got the chance to interact with many people, share stories, and expand our networks.”

She also highlighted how YTJA helped her gain a deeper understanding of AIESEC.

“YTJA leaves a positive impact for us. Through this session, I get to know more about AIESEC, what its aim is, and how AIESEC in UGM is organized,” she added.

Through Youth Today x Join AIESEC 2026, AIESEC in UGM continues to provide a platform for students to develop a leadership mindset, broaden their international outlook, and engage with opportunities that create social impact. As part of UGM’s vibrant student community, AIESEC in UGM contributes to nurturing globally aware and socially responsible young leaders who are ready to take initiative and support sustainable development.
