My experience in the community absolutely exceeded my expectations!! People are extremely nice, the place is great and the schedule is amazing!! We worked some days and other days we were visiting places, meeting new people, learning the language, the culture, how to prepare the food, how is the process for batik, learning typical instrument, martial arts... so many things! My homestay was amazing and now is my new family!! Everyone is so passionate and we learned about sustainability and eco-projects. I will never say thank you enough for everything they did for me!! Matur nuwun everyone!🙏🏼

I am beyond grateful for my experience in madiun. l got the opportunity to learn about batik, javanese culture and the future plans of making madiun a waste free city. the sustainably program consists of going to visit ms siyams workshop and learning about her methods of recycling, taking photos of the activity to promote sustainable practices to the people of madiun and visiting discussions about the madiun waste centre. the community team are all kind hearted people who are passionate about their cultural art and want to keep it alive. i highly recommend this experience 🫶

What a wonderful experience. I felt like a part of the community family and was greeted and welcomed at every location around town. I started on the batik programme with Mrs Lilik, but as they needed a teacher for a few days I also did this programme. If you want to experience local life, learn Javanese culture and make meaningful connections this is the position to apply for! I mainly applied to learn Batik, but came away with so much more experience. The hours you commit to are relaxed, mostly with busy mornings and sleepy afternoons- again like the locals do!

My experience here was truly spectacular. Everyone who supported the project treated me like family. It was incredible being immersed in all the aspects of Madiun including Batik, teaching English, having lots of local food, and Scout Camp where I got to help hundreds of kids with English. They are extremely loving and caring hosts who helped me with my every need. Even though I didn't speak Indonesian, everyone was willing to help me and wanted to connect with me to make me feel at home. The experience was truly unforgettable and I'd recommend you apply.

My stay in Madiun was perfect. Mostly because of my guest parents Mrs Lilik and Mr Dwi. I learned about the local arts by doing batik, I learned the culture by meeting amazing people around the community and I was able to learn about the traditional food:)
