Buleleng, 3 October 2023 – In celebration of language month, the Faculty of Languages ??and Arts (FBS), Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha (Undiksha) is holding a Literature Festival (Fenstra) celebration on 3 October 2023. This activity carries the theme “Harmony of Language and Literature: Establishing Creativity in Archipelago Expression.” This event was officially opened by the Dean of FBS Undiksha who was represented by the Deputy Dean for Student Affairs and Alumni of FBS Undiksha, Dr. Drs. I Nyoman Sila, M. Hum.

This week-long activity was carefully designed to revive the spirit of love for the Indonesian language and literature. The first day was carried out with a scientific seminar which invited resource person Mrs. Valentina Lovina Tanate, M.Hum., who also serves as Head of the Bali Province Language Center. This seminar aims to deepen the linguistic identity of millennials, invite students to understand and appreciate cultural diversity and guide them not to be easily divided in maintaining unity amidst diversity.

The spirit of collaboration and innovation will be the main foundation during this Language Month, with a series of activities including literary workshops, speech contests, poetry readings, correspondence in Balinese characters, and language and literature counseling. The hope is that, through this festival, students and participants will be able to awaken creativity and deepen their understanding of the expression of the archipelago’s culture through language and literature.

Not only celebrating the richness of the Indonesian language, FBS Undiksha Language Month also aims to increase appreciation for the diversity of regional languages ??throughout Indonesia. It is hoped that the entire series of activities in this Language Month will provide a significant positive contribution to the development of language and literature studies, as well as enrich understanding of the beauty and uniqueness of Indonesian culture.
