Exposure to Stube-HEMAT
Yogyakarta is a program of Stube-HEMAT Sumba for student activists. Students
always expect to be one of three nominees selected to get a chance for one
month learning program to Yogyakarta.
Why is Yogyakarta to be the
destination? First, Stube in Indonesia began from Yogyakarta, known as a student
city and a cultural and tourism city as well. As a student city, it is one
destination for students coming throughout country to continue their study with
many choices of study, educational institution, and facilitation with
reasonable living cost. Second, as a
cultural and tourism city, it is rich with cultural heritage, tradition and art
creativity, art product, handicraft, souvenir or culinary. Bringing local
students to Yogyakarta, Stube HEMAT delivers an experiential learning through
direct interaction and practice in new circumstance of Yogyakarta. It is expected that the experiences will
inspire participants to develop potency of Sumba.
