On Monday, May 5, Edu Global School’s junior high division (SMP) hosted a vibrant and inspiring event, combining two exciting activities: "Ngopi Sore" and "Market Day." Set against the backdrop of the school's spacious field, the event carried the meaningful theme of "Forest and Education," emphasizing the importance of nature and learning in shaping the future generation.
"Ngopi Sore," which literally means "afternoon coffee," was designed as a relaxed and welcoming space where students, teachers, and parents could gather, exchange ideas, and build a stronger community bond. Over cups of coffee and tea, participants engaged in thoughtful conversations about the role of education in promoting environmental awareness. The casual setting encouraged open dialogue, inspiring many to reflect on how simple everyday actions can contribute to a greener world.
Simultaneously, the "Market Day" showcased the entrepreneurial spirit of the students. They eagerly set up booths selling a variety of eco-friendly products, handmade crafts, healthy snacks, and creative goods inspired by the forest theme. It was a lively marketplace, bustling with energy and excitement as students applied their business skills, creativity, and teamwork to offer products that aligned with sustainability values.
The field of Edu Global School was beautifully decorated to reflect a forest atmosphere, with green canopies, wooden stalls, and nature-themed decorations creating a truly immersive experience. It was not just a fun event; it served as an educational platform where students could practice real-world skills such as marketing, financial management, and environmental responsibility — all while fostering a deeper love for nature.
At the end of the day, "Ngopi Sore" and "Market Day" left a lasting impression on everyone involved. It wasn’t just about coffee or commerce — it was about community, creativity, and consciousness. Edu Global School once again demonstrated its commitment to innovative education, showing that learning can happen everywhere, even among trees, conversations, and laughter.
