With the theme of strengthening the existence of local Sundanese wisdom in the dynamic era of a global society.

Opened with a speech from the Dean of FPIPS, Dr. Agus Mulyana, M. Hum: "you can modernize, but don't let culture move". This is reinforced by the opinion of Prof. Moriyama where foreigners are interested in local culture and traditional culture that is unique in the era of globalization. Eating Sundanese food is of course more delicious to eat in the Sundanese tribal area. It's the same when he wants to eat Japanese food, of course, it's more delicious to eat in Japan than eating Japanese food but it's in Europe or other areas.

The Guest Lecture Series activity was closed with an appeal from the Head of the Sociology Education Study Program, Mrs. Hj. Siti Komariah, M.Sc., Ph.D. to be more proud and love Sundanese culture by applying Sundanese culture in daily life. In the end, Sundanese culture was able to give color to the culture in Indonesia.
