In mid-June, the Javanese Language, Literature, and Culture study program received a special visit! This visit was carried out by the University of Indonesia Javanese Literature Student Family (KMSJ UI), in the context of a sowankadang between student associations.
Sowankadang is one of the work programs of the Public Relations and Organization Division (RPO) KAMASTAWA. This activity aims to establish relations and collaboration between the Javanese Language, Literature, and Culture Student Family (KAMASTAWA) and student associations of related departments from other universities. This year, KAMASTAWA was visited by KMSJ UI as its guest. The activity that had been planned since March was finally carried out on June 11, 2025 at FIB UGM.
The event began with a cokekan to welcome the arrival of KMSJ UI friends. Then it was opened with remarks from the head of KAMASTAWA, representatives of the Head of Study Program, the head of KMSJ, then representatives of lecturers from the Regional Literature Study Program for Javanese Literature. The next agenda was to exchange information about each organization, including showing a video profile of the study program.
The lecturers who attended this event also missed each other after not seeing each other for so long. Along with that, UI and UGM students were asked to sit alternately so they could get to know each other and establish communication.
The last agenda of Sowan Kadang was a group photo on the entrance stairs of the Hall. All students walked together to the Hall, enjoying the serenity of the afternoon and taking memories in the form of photos and videos.
With this activity, it is hoped that the purpose of holding Sowan Kadang can be achieved, namely to make the relationship between the two student associations close and to be able to establish good communication. Maybe in the future they can even collaborate to create a joint event.
