Denpasar (Antara Bali) - Foreign students are being introduced to the Balinese arts and culture, as part of an Indonesian Foreign Affairs Department programme aimed at promoting the diversity of the nation¿s culture.

"Fifty-four foreign college students, placed across the country, were exposed to the local culture of Indonesia over a period of three months," Balinese cultural instructor Dewa Nurjana said in Denpasar on Tuesday.

Ten of them were in Bali and the rest were in Yogyakarta, Solo, Bandung, Makassar, and Papua.

"Indonesia has many provinces, which have their own unique culture. Therefore, the foreign students would have an all-round perspective on the country," Nurjana explained.

The 10 students in Dewata Island, Bali, had come from Spain, Serbia, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Germany, Turkey, and Poland in order to learn about the Balinese way of life.(IGT)
