HumasUPNVJ - Expressing love for Indonesia, UPNVJ employees and students celebrate National Batik Day by using batik on October 2, 2019. The colorful nuances of batik are coloring the Bela Negara campus today. As we know, National Batik Day is Indonesia's national celebration day to commemorate the stipulation of batik as a Humanitarian Heritage for Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity on 2 October 2009 by UNESCO. On this date, various walks of life, from government officials and BUMN employees to students, are advised to wear batik. ( source: Wikipedia)

Hopefully with a national celebration like this we can all preserve Indonesian batik as our country's cultural wealth.

Apart from commemorating National Batik Day every October 2, UPNVJ has required academics to wear batik on Thursday and Friday every day.
