STRENGTHENING SOLIDARITY THROUGH HALAL BIHALAL EVENT AT SEKOLAH GLOBAL MANDIRI
Bogor, March 30th – April 2nd, 2026 – Sekolah Global Mandiri Cibubur held a halal bihalal activity as part of its effort to strengthen solidarity, tolerance, and harmony among the school community. This activity was attended by all students, teachers, and staff in an inclusive and warm atmosphere, regardless of their different backgrounds, religions, or cultures.
Through the tradition of asking and giving forgiveness, halal bihalal becomes an important moment to build empathy, respect, and stronger relationships within the school. This activity is not only ceremonial, but also serves as a meaningful way for students to learn about good character in real life.
In line with Indonesia’s Education Ministry introduced by Nadiem Makarim, education today focuses on building strong character, including teamwork, global awareness, and empathy. In this context, halal bihalal is a real example of how these values are practiced in everyday school life.
Meanwhile, Indonesian parenting expert Seto Mulyadi emphasizes that children learn best through direct experience and good examples from their surroundings. Therefore, activities like halal bihalal give students a real opportunity to practice forgiveness, respect differences, and build healthy social relationships.
The halal bihalal event at Sekolah Global Mandiri Cibubur also reflects Indonesia’s rich culture, which values unity in diversity. This tradition is adapted in an inclusive way so all members of the school can feel a sense of togetherness. Through this activity, Sekolah Global Mandiri Cibubur shows its commitment to developing students who are not only academically strong, but also have good character, are tolerant, and able to live in harmony in a diverse society.
