JAKARTA: Bernardine Andara Fembriarto and Eunike Stephanie
Sastrawidjaja, two Jakarta senior high-school students, won an
English-language video making competition organized by the
British Council.

For their achievement, they will enjoy a two-week visit to
England, where they will join winners from 12 other countries to
meet with a number of prominent British figures, learn about
educational opportunities there and watch British cultural shows.

Both Bernardine of SMU Gonzaga and Eunike of SMU Pelita
Harapan beat around 100 students aged between 15 years and 18
years from across the country.

Participants in the competition were required to explain in
their videos who they are, what they are studying, why they would
like to study in the UK and what they think about the UK, within
three minutes.

The competition, the first to be held in Indonesia, also took
place in Thailand, Russia, China, Egypt, Vietnam and the United
Arab Emirates (UAE), British Council marketing and communication
manager Simon Giverin said.
