During his welcoming remarks, Mr. Bukhari, S.Pd., the school principal, expressed his heartfelt appreciation to the Geopark Merangin Jambi team. "Through this Goes to School program, I hope our students will better understand what a Geopark is," he stated.

In the presentation, Silvia Christalline, SE, ST, and Febra Muyu Sari, M.Sn., provided an insightful introduction to Geopark Merangin, including an overview of their designation by UNESCO. They highlighted significant sites at international, national, and local levels. The discussion covered the geodiversity, biodiversity, and cultural diversity in these areas and strategies for engaging students in their protection and preservation.
