CENTRAL JAVA – Accommodating the best potential of youth, the Beasiswa Aktivis Nusantara (BAKTI NUSA) program held a Culture Expedition at the Future Leader Challenge (FLC) 2023 series Sunday (29/1/2023), in Solo City.

“We want our beneficiaries to be able to develop their potential by BAKTI NUSA’s values, which are Intellectual, Integrity, Transformative, and Serving,” stated Mochammad Fazar, BAKTI NUSA’s Supervisor.
Culture Expedition is about more than just learning about culture; it also invites the public and netizens to experience the spirit and persona of activists. Solo City is the ideal site since a young man leads it with fiery energy.
“We expand on this spirit to urge beneficiaries to be their best selves,” he explained.
A total of 50 activists for future leaders from 14 major campuses in Indonesia (USU, UNAND, UNSRI, UI, IPB, ITB, UNPAD, UNS, UGM, ITS, UNAIR, UB, UNHAS, and UNUD) participated in the Culture Expedition which carried the theme “We Create, Build, Preserve”.
The campus activists are encouraged and prepared to become the best young generation for the nation, social welfare, and Indonesian people. These young people will determine the future of the nation. Of course, this massive work will only be completed if competent young generation qualities are developed.
