The Institut Seni Indonesia Bali (ISI Bali) organized a communal service activity (mareresik) alongside a tree-planting program as part of the Bali-Dwipantara Karma (Nemu Gelang Nusantara) series within Bali Sangga Dwipantara VI, themed Kerthi–Tuwuh–Krama, held on Friday (April 3) at the ISI Bali campus.
The mareresik activity involved hundreds of students, faculty members, and administrative staff of ISI Bali. They collaboratively cleaned the campus environment, including temple areas, courtyards, and various supporting facilities, as a preparatory effort for the upcoming ceremonial events of Mecaru, Mlaspas, and Pasupati, as well as Mapadagingan.
In addition to the communal work, the program also featured tree planting across the campus. This initiative reflects ISI Bali’s commitment to environmental sustainability while reinforcing the spirit of the Kerthi–Tuwuh–Krama theme, which emphasizes the importance of harmony between humans, nature, and collective life.

A strong sense of togetherness was evident throughout the activity. Students, faculty, and staff worked collectively to clean and organize campus areas designated for the ceremonies. This initiative also serves as a practical manifestation of gotong royong (mutual cooperation) and a shared sense of belonging toward the campus environment.
The Mecaru, Mlaspas, and Pasupati ceremonies, along with Mapadagingan, are scheduled to take place on Saturday (April 4), coinciding with the celebration of Saraswati Day at Pura Padma Nareswari. The preparatory activities through mareresik and tree planting are expected to support the smooth execution of the ceremonies while strengthening the spirit of unity among the ISI Bali academic community.
Bali-Dwipantara Karma (Nemu Gelang Nusantara) constitutes one of the key programs within Bali Sangga Dwipantara VI, encompassing not only artistic and cultural activities but also fostering environmental awareness and reinforcing social harmony within the campus community.
