And once again; no more perploncoan in any form, we learn together and implement the knowledge obtained in the campus to the surrounding environment. “said Prof. Dr. Ni Luh Sutjiati Beratha, M.A., the dean of the Faculty of Cultural Sciences.

This activity was held without any significant obstacles. Students divided each of the tasks that have been determined by the committee.
