Perhimpunan Pelajar Indonesia di Australia (PPIA) VIC is thrilled to announce “Cultural Day,” a two-day Indonesian-themed extravaganza aimed at promoting cultural diversity and fostering a deeper understanding of Indonesian traditions. This exciting event will take place on July 28-29, 2023, at the historic Old Melbourne Gaol from 3 pm until 7 pm.
Cultural Day promises to be an immersive and enlightening experience, featuring a series of interactive workshops led by experts and event committees.
