This event was done successfully and attracted 40 Indonesian youths in the Middle Eastern country.
"We took this theme to give awareness that our desired nationalism is nationalism that respects other nations. Our nationalism must nurture and nourish in the garden of internationalism", said Ali Murtado, Head of Organizing and Implementing the Social and Cultural Affairs Function of the Indonesian Embassy in Doha, in a media release on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the Indonesian Ambassador to the State of Qatar, Ridwan Hassan, emphasized the importance of national and state awareness among the young Indonesian diaspora in Qatar.
"This activity aims to foster a sense of love and belonging for the homeland among these children," said Ambassador Hassan.
Indonesian diaspora children in Qatar grew up in a 'half' foreign state. Most of them can only speak Indonesian passively.
"That is also the reason, this year's course is still held in English," added Ambassador Hassan.
