\"\"<\/a>Welcome back to Member Spotlight where we introduce you to the personalities behind AIYA. This week, we introduce you to Event Officer of AIYA Jakarta Chapter, Rebekah Smith!<\/p>\n

What is your occupation\/What do you study?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bahasa Indonesia student at Universitas Indonesia, Depok<\/p>\n

What is your favourite place to visit in Indonesia\/Australia?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Any of the volcanoes in Java and seeing the sunrises from the top!<\/p>\n

Favourite meal in Indonesia\/Australia?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anything from Padang: Sate Padang, Soto Padang and Nasi Padang<\/p>\n

How about your favourite word in Indonesian\/English?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018Ora opo-opo\u2019 \/ \u2018Orapopo\u2019 \u2013 don\u2019t worry\/it\u2019s ok in Javanese!<\/p>\n

Do you have a favourite Indonesian\/Australian film?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Galih dan Ratna. Clich\u00e9 but cute teenage romance<\/p>\n

Any hopes for the bilateral relationship?<\/strong><\/p>\n

That we can cooperate better on common issues rather than let differences slow us down. I think youth are important to make that happen \u2013 we bring fresh energy and passion that help bridge gaps and strengthen connections<\/p>\n

What was getting involved with AIYA like?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Very easy! I first got involved in Melbourne as the Socio-cultural Officer for 2019 which was great for having opportunities to organise events like movie nights, music\/dance workshops and sports days. When I moved to Jakarta earlier this year it was as simple as Citra (Jakarta President) asking if\/how I\u2019d like to be involved. Now I am one of the Events Officers and excited for upcoming language exchanges, sports days and more!<\/p>\n

What do you like most about AIYA?<\/strong><\/p>\n

What I like most about AIYA is that it serves so many purposes! With AIYA I have made incredible friends, professional networks, gained useful skills in event management and collaborating with partners as well as gaining access to events I otherwise wouldn\u2019t have access to. I also definitely appreciated have a group I could fit right into when I moved to Jakarta!<\/p>\n

Sum up your experience as an AIYA member in three words!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inspiring, growth, fun!<\/p>\n
