It's a wrap!

On Wednesday, 26 August 2026, Acicis and UGM’s Office of International Affairs (OIA) collaborated with 27 host organisations to hold NGO Fair 2026!

This year’s NGO Fair brought together a diverse range of host organisations working in fields such as gender, the environment, wildlife, law, education, health, and more. The enthusiasm for this event was clearly evident, not only from the creativity shown by the participating organisations in decorating their stands and offering active and participatory activities, but also from the constant stream of visitors.

A huge thank you to all participating organisations and everyone who joined us at NGO Fair💙

Meet Lachlan Dexter, a Monash University student who spent a semester on the Acicis International Business, Law & Society Program in Indonesia.

Over six months, Lachlan did far more than attend classes. From an internship at Yayasan Senyum Kita, playing sports with locals, and embracing the spirit of nongkrong, every moment deepened his understanding of Indonesian life, culture, and community

Supported by the New Colombo Plan Grant, Lachlan's journey shows how studying abroad can reshape the way you see the world. Read his story here: https://www.acicis.edu.au/blog/student-profile-lachlan-dexter-international-business-law-society-s62-2026/ IG: bit.ly/FLIP-Lachlan

Australia-Indonesia relations have been strong since pre-colonial history, when people-to-people interaction deepened mutual understanding. But now, with fewer educational institutions teaching Indonesian language, the long-standing connection has begun to fade.

It's a wrap!!🤩💫

​Semester 1, 2026 finally came to an end in late July. So many memories were made, and there was so much to learn along the way; making traditional jamu, poetry, and a lot more, also diving into professional placements across local organisations, NGOs, and financial institutions.

A huge thank you to our partner universities, host organisations, supervisors, and the Australian Government’s New Colombo Plan (NCP) for making this semester an unforgettable journey.
