This animated film highlights Garuda's courage and loyalty to the god Vishnu, who bestowed upon him the water of immortality, Tirta Amerta. Short yet engaging, this animated film is the work of Indonesian children and won the 2015 Citra Award for "Best Animated Short Film." After touring Plaza Wisnu, the participants took a group photo at one of GWK's best spots, the Garuda Bridge, which was recently inaugurated in February 2024. Afterwards, they headed directly to Plaza Garuda. In addition to the film and the engaging experience of touring GWK, participants were also invited to learn about Balinese music, including playing the tambourine, gong, and angklung at the GWK Amphitheater. Moving on to Balinese dance, participants were invited to watch, interact, and learn firsthand the Sekar Jepun Dance, Kenyum Manis Dance, and Kebyar Duduk Dance with the GWK Dance Team.

This activity targets elementary school students and has already been implemented with thousands of elementary school students in Bali in particular. Hopefully, with this program, the Balinese community will have a future generation that loves and understands local culture and is able to preserve Balinese culture in the future," concluded Rossie Andriani, Corporate Communications Division Head of Alam Sutera.
