Cultivating Sustainable Environmental Leadership at NUNI Student Camp

Makassar, 25 November 2023 – The Student Camp event was once again held as part of the Presidential Forum of the Nationwide University Network in Indonesia (NUNI) at Hasanuddin University.

The theme brought the theme of “Cultivating Environmental Sustainability Leadership in Universities: Nurturing Tomorrow’s Eco-Conscious Changemakers,” to life and attract over 50 students from across the archipelago. They had the opportunity to engage directly with local communities such as the Lakkang Tourist Village, Lakkang Village, Tallo, the Fatimah Az-zahra Women Fishermen Group (KWN), Pattingalloang Sub-district, Ujung Tanah District, and Alla-Alla Village, Batua Sub-district, to understand the environmental issues faced in each area. The information gathered was utilized by the students to present their innovative ideas to the NUNI leadership as a form of experiential learning.

Prof. Dr. Eng. Adi Maulana, S.T., M.Phil., the Vice-Rector for Partnerships, Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Business at Hasanuddin University, emphasized the necessity of leveraging the demographic bonus, which refers to the majority of the Indonesian population being dominated by a productive generation.

Many thanks for the enthusiasm shown by participants from Atma Jaya Yogyakarta University, BINUS Nusantara University, Hasanuddin University, Islamic University of Indonesia, Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia, Parahyangan Catholic University, Soegijapranata Catholic University, Maranatha Christian University, Petra Christian University, Satya Wacana Christian University, Padjadjaran University, Sanata Dharma University, University of North Sumatra, University of Surabaya, and Udayana University.

Looking forward to seeing you at the next camp event!
