As the supervisor of this team, I am very proud of what Ezer and his friends have achieved in this national essay competition. This competition was attended by several well-known campuses in Indonesia. This is one proof that we can compete with the best campuses in Indonesia and bring ULM’s name to the national arena. Mandalika Essay Competition is one of the competitions that provides an opportunity for students to issue creative ideas to support tourism and culture in Indonesia. Lots of brilliant ideas from fellow students expressed in the form of essays in this competition need to be supported by related institutions to improve tourism and culture in Indonesia. In addition, this competition is one of the events to improve students’ 6C competencies in the 4.0 education era. However, this is not the final result for us, but this is a spark for our team to continue to make achievements and bring the name of the geography education study program, FKIP, and ULM at the national and international levels,” he said.
