Cross-Cultural Gathering: International Students and ORMAWA Build Global Dialogue at Piksi Ganesha Foster Home

Bandung, On Friday and Saturday, July 26 and 27, 2025

In an effort to support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in the areas of Quality Education (SDG 4), Reduced Inequalities (SDG 10), and Partnerships for the Goals (SDG 17), Politeknik Piksi Ganesha organized a cross-cultural meeting between international students and representatives of the Student Organization (ORMAWA). The event took place at the Director’s residence, which was transformed into a space for dialogue and international exchange. Students from Thailand and Sudan participated in a warm and family-like atmosphere, sharing stories and experiences with local students from various student organizations on campus.

This meeting is an important moment in strengthening the values of tolerance, mutual respect, and intercultural cooperation in higher education. Students from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds can openly discuss campus life, educational systems, and their individual experiences in their home countries. This not only enriches students’ global perspectives but also strengthens cross-border student relationships, serving as a tangible manifestation of reducing social disparities and enhancing equity in access to quality higher education.

The selection of the director’s residence as the venue for the event demonstrates a warm and inclusive personal approach, making the event more than just a formality, but also a means of building strong relationships between individuals and nations. Additionally, the active involvement of ORMAWA in this event reflects the campus’s commitment to fostering student leadership that is open to diversity and capable of collaborating on an international scale. Through such initiatives, Politeknik Piksi Ganesha is not only building a global network but also contributing to shaping a generation of young people ready to compete and collaborate in an increasingly interconnected global society.
