Based on a report from the Chief of PMM Force 4 UPNVJ, Hesti Alifia, upon arrival at TMII each group immediately split up to complete missions/tasks to several designated bridge and museum destinations.

This student from Cendrawasih University said that the estimated time for completing assignments and missions for each group was 5 hours. This time is considered more than enough to be able to explore various types of platforms and museums.

"The estimated work for each group's tasks and missions is 5 hours, which means we spent a lot of time exploring the platforms of various provinces in Indonesia and also had the opportunity to explore various types of museums." Hesti said on behalf of her friends in a short report given to UPNVJ Public Relations.

From this edu trip , PMM Batch 4 students had the opportunity to witness the history of the Republic of Indonesia and biographies of heroes who contributed to the process of Indonesian independence through a visit to the Soldiers' Museum.

On the other hand, at the Indonesian Batik Museum, students learn about the history of Indonesian batik, including the types of batik and how to make them.

TMII was chosen as the main destination based on the assumption that exchange students need to know the various cultures in Indonesia. Moreover, PMM students come from various cultural and racial backgrounds, so it is important for them to gain new insight into other cultures in Indonesia with a fairly complete and detailed presentation.
