Embarking on a journey as a SEA Teacher in Indonesia is not just about teaching in the classroom; it is about immersing oneself in the rich and diverse cultural tapestry that the country has to offer. These immersive cultural experiences are not only memorable but also play a significant role in shaping a SEA Teacher's perspective and teaching approach.

A major perk of being a SEA Teacher is being able to engage in cultural visits designed to introduce educators to Indonesia’s culture. These excursions may include visiting historical landmarks, witnessing local ceremonies, or interacting with the people through their daily routines. Such involvement in local activities exposes SEA Teachers to the rich culture of the country as well as the communities in which they live.

In addition, these cultural engagements are not mere tourism visit to a foreign country-s rather, they offer important lessons which a teacher can use in class. SEA Teachers, for instance, can incorporate local folklore into their lesson plans, or narrate tales relating to cultural practices in their communities. This will greatly expand pupils’ engagement with the lessons. Through these approaches, students learn to recognize and value other cultures, thus fostering tolerance among ethnicities.

Along with these activities, SEA Teachers will have the opportunity to enhance their cross cultural skills. These skills are increasingly important in the modern world. Learning adoption new customs and interacting with different backgrounds provides teachers with tools for competent cross cultural communication and interaction.
