Intercultural Festival is an event held by ITS IO as one of the tools to enhance the relationship between ITS International Students and ITS Students itself. The theme was about cross-culture between Indonesian culture and other country’s culture. The event itself had 2 main sub events which are Cultural Performance and Cross-Culture Games. Those main sub events were made to show the collaboration between ITS International Students and ITS Students. Therefore, the Cross-Culture Games and the Cultural Performance were conducted by both.
The event was started by a performance from UKM UKTK Karawitan (Traditional Music). They performed along with the some of ITS International Students. They produced a really good tone even if that was the first time for international students to play the instruments. Next agenda was the first Cross-Culture Games. The game The games consisted of 3 groups and they had to guess what kind of picture shown by their partner. Intercultural Festival was continued by another performance from UKM IFLS ITS Japanese Division. They covered some Japanese songs. It was a good performance. The next was performance conducted by UKM PSM ITS (Choir). They sang some Traditional Songs from Indonesia. The harmony was really captivating and blend as one. Then, the second Cross-Culture Games came and it was about guessing some Indonesian songs’ lyrics. This game run quite funny because the International Students had to read the lyrics with their accent which made it harder for ITS students to guess the songs. The event run well and was continued by interesting performance by UKM IFLS Korean Division. They did a dance cover. After that, the MC brought the last game of that day. It was called
"How Far Do You Know about International Culture". This game required the participants to guess some pictures behind grids. The games consisted of 3 stages, easy, medium, and hard. The participants were from ITS international students and ITS students. They work together to guess the pictures.
The last performance was came from UKM Persai Diri ITS (Martial Art). They showed some amazing body moves. It was really good one. After all of the main events done, it was time to reveal the winner of each game which had been already conducted earlier. The winner of each game was given a good present from the committee. They looked really happy and enjoy the event. Intercultural Festival was officially closed by a firework show which was really amazing and beautiful. All of the participants and visitors were having a good time and also for the committee itself.
