In opening the event, Prof. Sangidu as the Head of the Department of Interculture said that this activity needs to be utilized as well as possible to deepen the theory and methods of scientific research, especially in the scope of thesis research. The material presented was related to the big theme of the KBTT Study Program’s research, namely making works of literature and Arabic as a “window” in seeing phenomena in society. Dr. Hindun also said that students must be up-to-date in the use of theories, especially in the use of social theory and critical theory. Thus, KBTT students are expected to master intercultural theories and develop them in their final project research.
