JejakBede.online - A Wonderful "Hari Batik Nasional" in Brisbane Australia.
One year ago, during my training in Australia, we also celebrated Hari Batik Nasional. On that day, which was October 2nd, we wore batik attire in class and during a formal lunch.
The training focused on Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, which were directly relevant to our tasks in our respective institutions. The participants were public servants from Indonesia, including BMKG, KemenPUPR, and BNPB.

The Australian Awards Indonesia (AAI) sponsored the two-week training program, during which they carefully selected 25 participants from a pool of candidates proposed by their respective institutions. Below is a video showcasing our training experience.
The training was held in 4 cities in Australia, they were Brisbane, Melbourne, Canberra, and Sydney. Brisbane was the main city for the training. We were in Brisbane for about eight days. After that, we moved to the other cities, 1 day in Melbourne, 2 days in Canberra and the two last days in Sydney.
Before departing for Australia, the AAI coordinator briefed us on all the rules, including the dress code. We were allowed to wear casual attire during the class sessions.
Additionally, we were required to bring formal attire for formal meetings. Being Indonesians, we also made sure to prepare Batik outfits for informal occasions.
On October 2nd, which coincided with Hari Batik Nasional, we collectively decided to wear Batik throughout the day.
As usual, we walked to the class. To reach Queensland University of Technology (QUT), where the classes were held, we had to pass through Brisbane City Botanic Garden. This city park was situated between our apartment and QUT.

We took some pictures in the park, showcasing our Batik style. There was a sense of pride in wearing Batik in a different country.
The class on that day concluded at midday, as we were required to attend a formal lunch with our training partner in AAI, Queensland University of Technology (QUT). It was a fortunate coincidence that we happened to be wearing Batik attire to celebrate Hari Batik Nasional during the formal lunch.
