A student arts group from Universitas Gadjah Mada, SAKA UGM, team brought home international achievements. Two awards were achieved in the 11th Surin International Folklore Festival and Symposium (SIFFS), which was held by Surindra Rajabhat University in Surin Province, Thailand, from 14 to 25 January 2016. The first award was The Pride of Asia, which was based on the choice of audience. Another award is the Liveliest Perfomance.
