UBSI Delegation Introduces Culture Through Games and Dance in Thailand

A delegation from Bina Sarana Informatika University (UBSI) brought a taste of Indonesian culture to children in Bangkok, Thailand, through an international community service event. Held at the Sleeping Bag Foundation, the initiative, part of the Global Youth Congress (GYC) 2026, focused on 'Enjoy Learning Multicultural Games and Dances.'

“

We want to show that learning about culture does not have to be formal. Through games and joint activities, children can get to know differences and learn to appreciate them.

The program aimed to teach children about cultural diversity in a fun and engaging way. Activities included traditional games, cultural dances, and interactive discussions on tolerance and appreciating differences. Mahna Zakiah Nadhif, a UBSI delegate, highlighted the significance of introducing cultural diversity early on to build open-mindedness. She noted that learning through games and creative activities makes multicultural values more accessible to children.

Bella Amelia, another delegate, explained that games are effective tools for fostering interaction and teaching teamwork and mutual respect. The event also featured the introduction and practice of various multicultural dances, encouraging children to express themselves confidently. Kayla Shabirah Putri stated that the collaborative activities were designed to strengthen cross-cultural understanding through direct experience, making the learning process more memorable.

Through traditional games, children not only play but also learn to cooperate, respect each other, and understand that every culture has a uniqueness that deserves appreciation.

The delegates expressed their hope that the children would not only remember the games and dances but also internalize the messages of tolerance, cooperation, and the importance of valuing differences.

We hope the children will not only remember the games or dances but also understand the message about tolerance, cooperation, and the importance of appreciating differences.
