Through this opportunity, the MarSU delegates will engage in Fun Bahasa (Indonesian Language Learning), Cultural Activities, Virtual City Tours, and a Final Project Presentation, which will enhance their cross-cultural communication skills and global awareness.

This participation reflects MarSU’s strong commitment to fostering global partnerships, enhancing cultural exchange, and supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in promoting Quality Education (SDG 4) and Partnerships for the Goals (SDG 17).

The university’s internationalization efforts are made possible through the strong leadership and support of MarSU President, Prof. Dr. Diosdado P.
