TTC : Trip to Gondosuli and Rumah Atsiri Indonesia
TTC trips took place from 23 January to 26 January 2023, which aimed to learn LXD (Learning Experience Design). This trip had two destinations; Plantations in Gondosuli and Rumah Atsiri Indonesia. Activities in Gondosuli were tracking the Plantations to the edge of the forest and visiting one of the resident’s plantations. Plantations in Gondosuli were not filled with carrots and broccoli but also with other plants such as scallion, cabbage, and many others. Teachers could also pull carrots to be harvested in one of the resident’s plantations. Later on, the harvested carrots can be brought home.
The second destination was Rumah Atsiri in Watusambang Plumbon Tawangmangu Karanganyar. Rumah Atsiri offered visitors many activities, two of which were The Gardens Tour and Museum Tour. In the museum tour, the teachers learned about the history of essential oil and Rumah Atsiri Indonesia.
