Afta, as he is commonly known, expressed gratitude for the support from UMM and his mentor, Novi Puji Lestari, S.E., M.M. In the best leader category, he demonstrated effective leadership, strong communication skills, and facilitated discussions adeptly. In the art performance category, he showcased his pencak silat skills, highlighting Indonesian martial arts and culture to the other participants.
"I also fortunately secured second place in the dangdut performance with my team. Just like pencak silat, dangdut is a form of art that is synonymous with Indonesia. Thus, this was my way of introducing Indonesia to participants from other countries," he explained.
He believes that ADIYC 2024 provided him with opportunities to enhance his leadership, creativity, and teamwork skills. Additionally, it allowed him to build relationships with participants from diverse backgrounds. His success in various categories reflects his enthusiasm and competence in multiple fields, making this experience invaluable for his future development.
