Abstract: Declining competence in Indonesian language learning in Australia is a concern within the framework of bilateral cooperation in education between Indonesia and Australia. This study aimed to improve Indonesian language and cultural competence in students at two schools in Canberra, Burgmann Anglican School and Trinity Christian School, through collaborative workshops. The workshops involved 112 students in grades 3-5 at Burgmann Anglican School and 310 students in grades 6-8 at Trinity Christian School. Organised by four study programmes from Universitas Negeri Jakarta - Bachelor of Indonesian Language and Literature, Bachelor of English Literature, Bachelor of English Language Education, and Bachelor of Dance Education - as well as the Master of Indonesian Language Education Study Programme, the workshop emphasised interactive learning through multimedia, dance workshops, and educational games with the folklore theme of ‘Lutung Kasarung’. The main objective was to improve students' Indonesian language skills and interest in learning Indonesian language and culture. Evaluation through surveys showed significant improvements in Indonesian language competence and cross-cultural understanding. These results underscore the importance of a culture-based education approach in strengthening bilateral relations and language preservation at the primary school level.
