Believing that the society needs to take part in the education system, it is for this reason that Serrum would like to introduce a new perspective towards education and art to the public, by implementing a different educational method and practice which had never been applied before.

Education is the most fundamental rights for each individuals within a society. This grand narrative of education focuses on method, curriculum, government’s policies, and memories from the public’s perspective. With particular focus on the reality of the educational practice within the existing education system and current society’s structure.

This festival analyses various methods of education as well as its distribution which also focuses on education practitioners as well as the wider public. Nowadays, democracy has made it possible for variety alternative education programs which provides more options of gaining knowledge and learning for the public.

This festival develops and distributes knowledge with alternative method that is more creative and inspirational. Inherently, art and education are able to create and form something despite structure of the society.

Serrum as part of the wider society believes that it has to have a significant role in the public education. One of these roles is explained in the Indonesian Education Constitutional System No. 20 in 2003, in which the clause 8 emphasises the rights and obligations of the society. It is explained that the society has the rights to take part in the planning, implementation, invigilating, as well as evaluating the education system.
