“The most impressive thing in the conference was the challenge to present in an international forum with other master students, lecturers and professors. Bachelor students were difficult to find,” she said. “But what is even more impressive were the orderly, discipline and friendly Japanese people,” she added.

A team of FF students presented a paper titled “The Important Roles Of Parents In Building Children Morals”. “Our paper was about children’s morality and its importance for the growth of children in Indonesia,” said Lusi as the team leader of the FF team.
