International experience does not necessarily require studying\nabroad. This was evident at the UIC Creative Showcase 2026, themed \u2018The\nGreat Britain Festival in Indonesia\u2019, organised by UIC College under the\nUSG Education Group.<\/p>\n
Held at the USG Education BSD Campus, 250 students from six study\nprogrammes presented creative works and multidisciplinary projects that\nmerged global perspectives with Indonesian identity. Rather than merely\nusing British culture as a global reference, students reinterpreted it\nthrough a local lens relevant to the Indonesian youth generation,\nresulting in works that feel distinctly Indonesian yet speak a global\nlanguage.<\/p>\n
The event was attended by representatives from the British Council,\nPearson UK, and academics from Manchester Metropolitan University, UWE\nBristol, Northumbria University, and Ravensbourne University London.\nStudents presented their work directly to international academics and\nprofessionals as a simulation of real-world industry experience.<\/p>\n
Notable works included an installation from the Arts and Design\nprogramme by Jessica Clare Hartono, Gabriela Ixchel Bain, and Edghina\nEvania Clearesta, which explored the intersection of Indonesian and\nEnglish literature. In the Fashion Design programme, students presented\ncollections blending British cultural inspiration with the visual\ncharacter of Indonesian youth, while Graphic Design students developed\ncreative campaigns highlighting the link between global culture and\nlocal perspectives.<\/p>\n
In the field of technology, Computing students developed various\ndigital projects ranging from web design and interactive media to the\nInternet of Things (IoT). Meanwhile, Business students were challenged\nto design business concepts with the potential to penetrate the British\nmarket. This led to unique ideas such as \u2018Padang2Go\u2019 and \u2018Tempehtation\u2019,\nwhich aim to introduce Indonesian culinary delights to the international\nmarket.<\/p>\n
Camelia Harahap, Head of Creative Economy Southeast Asia at the\nBritish Council, and Janice Phung, Pearson APAC Regional Manager,\nprovided feedback alongside British university academics. Ni Luh Komang\nAimee Sukintana, Director of Marketing & Student Experience at USG\nEducation, stated that such experiences are vital in shaping students\u2019\nglobal readiness from an early age.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/multidisciplinary-creative-works-showcase-global-perspectives-with-national-identity-1780838250", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
