The event was attended by hundreds of participants who gathered to strengthen bonds while creating warm and memorable moments. Jakarta, March 8, 2026.
Embracing the Theme “Dune”
Carrying the theme “Dune”, FIVE GATH x Star offered an experience inspired by the journey and resilience required to adapt to a new environment. The theme was realized through a series of activities encouraging participants to engage in personal growth, get to know one another, and build connections in a relaxed yet meaningful atmosphere.
Self-Discovery and Building Connections
Held at Villa Nuri, South Jakarta, the event was designed to utilize various areas through a post-to-post system. Participants moved from one station to another, with each station offering activities focused on self-introduction and light interaction with fellow participants.
This concept created a dynamic experience without compromising comfort throughout the event. Additionally, participants were guided by an interactive booklet designed as a self-exploration tool.
Beyond answering questions about themselves, participants were encouraged to find commonalities with others, making interactions feel more natural, warm, and unforced. The event also featured a sharing session with FIVE TV alumni on the topic “After College Life”, providing participants with insights into post-college life and the challenges they may face in the future.
Warmth and Togetherness During Breaking-Fast
The program continued with a buka puasa session, one of the core moments of the event. All participants gathered in a large circle, creating a warm and inclusive atmosphere where there were no distinctions between organizers, new members, or alumni.
This moment symbolized togetherness, strengthening the sense of family developed throughout the activities. The session provided a space to share light stories, laughter, and simple reflections after a day of activities.
In a relaxed yet meaningful setting, interactions became closer and more personal, reinforcing connections between individuals. The breaking-fast moment was not only a time to rest but also a point where togetherness was truly felt and brought to life by all participants.
Closing the Day with Meaning and Hope
Project Officer of FIVE GATH x Star, Ahza Jasmine, stated that the event was designed as a space for mutual learning and understanding. “We aim to create a gathering that is not only a place to meet, but also a space where each individual can understand, share, and grow together,” she said.
With the successful implementation of this event, FIVE GATH x Star is expected to strengthen the bonds among FIVE TV members and create positive and memorable experiences, especially during the holy month of Ramadan. The event concluded with hopes that the spirit of togetherness and collaboration fostered during the gathering will continue in the future.(www.upnvj.ac.id)
