English and Literature Department held a Community
Engagement in Bulukumba for 3 days, from 26-28 November 2020. More than 30
people joined the program, not only the lecturers, but also students and
several staffs. On 26 November the group went to Kajang, which is a cult that
still lives in traditional ways. That afternoon the group met the Amatoa, the
head of the society, and made an intense discussion about how the life in
Kajang, the norms, myths and values they believed in everyday life. The group also
went to “Rumah Baca” that was founded by the young locals there and some
lecturers have also donated several books to that small library.
The next day on November 27, several agendas were executed.
