Students are expected to create projects depending on the theme and the location. For instance, I got a project under " Technology" and I will be deployed in a coastal area with agriculture being its strong commodity.
My team consisting of 29 students, will be working on mini project relating to the theme, using our own different field of expertise. As I come from literature and language major, one of my mini project is a seminar on fake news and ways to tackle misinformation. Another one is helping local goverment with data visualization as in creating zines, village magazines and media related activities. Then, Some students from agriculture will help local farmers in using agriculture softwares, others from engineering will help in creating website for local government and helping them with processing database.
And I live in Indonesia. It's not really common in other universities. It's only a compulsory in mine because it has been done for decades, starting at around 1948 :) and as the oldest university in the country, they feel the need to give back to the community, a.k.a the country.
