The Ministry of Foreign Affairs Republic of Indonesia has awarded scholarships to 62 young people from Asia, Pacific, Europe, Australia and America to study Indonesian arts and culture for 3 months. After a 7-day orientation course in Jakarta and a field trip to Bandung, the awardees departed to 6 regions (Padang Panjang, Bandung, Jogjakarta, Surakarta, Surabaya and Denpasar) where they studied Indonesian culture, particularly, dance, music, song and painting. The 3-month 'learning by doing' program ended with arts presentations at the "Indonesia Channel" in Surabaya.
