What the Grant Supported
Big Ideas Grant funding enabled the delivery of Ragam Raya, supporting the Indonesian Student Association to promote its presence within the University of Glasgow community, increase engagement with Indonesian students, and provide a platform for students to showcase their talents beyond the classroom.
The funding also helped create an inclusive opportunity for students to learn about Indonesia’s diverse culture through performances and activities, while allowing society members to gain valuable experience in planning and delivering a large-scale event. By supporting Ragam Raya, the grant helped strengthen the Indonesian student community, encourage participation, and enhance the wider student experience.
