What happens when Indonesian schoolchildren read the same book that Danish children use to learn about Indonesia? 📚🇩🇰🇮🇩
Last June, the Royal Danish Embassy in Jakarta visited a primary school in North Jakarta to share educational materials developed as part of the 2025 Danish Christmas Calendar (U-landskalender) project.
Over two days, 45 students learned about Denmark through presentations, games, and storytelling. They also read Forsvundet i Jakarta, which the Embassy translated into Bahasa Indonesia as Hilang di Jakarta, allowing them to see how their country is presented to Danish children.
Here’s what they had to say. 💚
