Outdoor
Learning to watch the sunset over
5 Edition December 2016 SMAN 7, SMAN 4, and their beautiful hometown,
Kendari. The gals went with
MAN 1 Kendari
Kendari, Southeast some of their Indonesian
Sulawesi friends from the local
university. The exchange
of culture and language is always present when this
group gets together. While the Fulbrighters help
their friends with study abroad applications and
English practice, the university students return the
favor by showing them around Kendari and helping
with their Bahasa Indonesia mastery. Exploring
Kendari has been one of the highlights of their grant
period when they aren’t teaching in the classroom.
They look forward to many more adventures and
explorations in the new year!
On December 8th 2016, ETA Michaela Chinn, and
students and teachers of SMAN SSA 1 participated
in Outdoor Learning, a one-day experiential learning
opportunity for 10th and
11th graders. Students and
SMA N 1 Salatiga teachers went to PT Sritex
Salatiga, Central Java Sukoharjo and Museum
Karst Wonogiri. Teachers
and students learned about
textile making and natural stones from Indonesia.
The day ended at Pantai Drini, Jogyakarta, where
students and teachers enjoyed the beautiful sunset
and ocean. For Michaela, the highlight of the trip
was taking pictures with teachers and students at
the beach.
