In addition to the International Conference, the participants also had the opportunity to attend in-class lectures organized by the University of Malaya.

Not only that, the participants also got the best experience when invited to explore every corner of the campus.

Through a series of activities packaged in this student excursion program, it is hoped that it can be a provision to enrich students' learning experiences and insights to prepare themselves to face the challenges of an increasingly complex and diverse world. As well as motivating students to be more courageous in stepping out of their comfort zone, because the world is very wide and our time is very short.
