Singaraja - The 9th Sarasehan Nusantara IMBASADI, held at Ganesha University of Education Singaraja, Bali, from May 12th to May 15th, 2022, has been held. The event, which carried the theme "Tresnaning Budaya, Hitaning Bhuwana: Cultural Romance towards World Harmony," spanned three days and concluded with the selection of Putra and Putri Imbasadi 2022 and an Awarding Night on May 14th.
The 9th Sarasehan Nusantara IMBASADI featured various competitions, including the National Scientific Paper Competition, Nusantara Typography Competition, Regional Pop Song Competition, Nusantara TikTok Contest, Cinematography Video Competition, and the Selection of Putra Putri Imbasadi 2022.
Delegates from the Javanese Literature Program at Gadjah Mada University participated in these activities by taking part in all the competitions. UGM's delegation was represented by Zainal Fanani (class of 2019) as the delegation leader, along with Dewi Lestari (class of 2019), Vighna Rivattyannur Hernawan (class of 2020), Nurma Aisyah (class of 2021), Adjit Royan Mustafa Ganda Sukma (class of 2021), Nanda Nursa Alya (class of 2021), and Idharul Huda (class of 2021). The first five mentioned attended the event in Bali in person, while the latter two participated virtually through Zoom Meetings, as the 9th Sarasehan Nusantara was conducted in a hybrid manner.
From these competitions, the UGM delegation achieved the following awards:
- 2nd Place in the National Scientific Paper Competition (Vighna Rivattyannur Hernawan as the team leader, with two members: Nurma Aisyah and Idharul Huda).

The winning National Scientific Paper Competition, titled "Tabloid Carakita: Javanese Script across Languages as an Implementation of Cultural Harmony (A Sociolinguistic Study)," focused on Tabloid Carakita as a material object that can contribute to the preservation of Javanese script in the millennial era. It leveraged the fact that people commonly speak or use Indonesian, Javanese, and English in their daily lives.
Meanwhile, the 2nd Place Regional Pop Song Cover comprised a medley of two songs: "Jenang Gula" and "Gethuk." These songs were chosen because they contain elements of Javanese culture. Jenang Gula song contains wangsalan, a kind of Javanese riddle. While the Gethuk song contains Javanese rhymes commonly known as parikan.
The final championship achieved was the Runner-up 2 in the Putri IMBASADI category. The selection process was rigorous, including deep interviews and staged eliminations from the top 5 to the top 3. Nurma Aisyah partnered with Gus Bija from I Gusti Bagus Sugriwa State Hindu University, both entrusted with the title of Runner-up 2.
According to the representative IMBASADI students, participating in IMBASADI provided them with valuable experiences and relationships. They expressed their gratitude to all parties who continuously supported them. IMBASADI stands as evidence that it serves as a platform for competitions and successes for students of regional languages and literature.
