Everyone brought at least one reading book which was then exchanged with each other. The activity took place with laughter and warmth. The focused and quiet atmosphere began to be felt when each person was engrossed in their reading. After reading, the activity continued with a discussion about the book that had been read. Each person gave their opinion about the content of the reading and the values ​​obtained. This discussion opened up new perspectives and enriched understanding of various book genres. Some of the books read: Kuliah Kerja Kaya, Kota yang Berumur Panjang, Motor Matic Milik Bapak, Kisah Kasih dari Dapur, The Heritage of Yogyakarta (a collection of writings from participants in the 2024 VDMI Writing Workshop), Masa Kecil and Null. Hopefully this spirit of literacy will continue to grow and become a trigger for other activities. Salam Tabea!
