The Sriwijaya Script event was one of a series of activities on the third day of Open Campus, held in celebration of the 18th anniversary on Monday (Jan. 19).
The event, held on the UIGM campus, was the result of a strategic collaboration between the South Sumatra Student Council Forum and the Universitas IGM Campus Youth Association. A total of 29 high schools, vocational high schools, and Islamic high schools from various regions participated in this competition and series of educational events.
“This synergy among organizations is clear evidence that spaces for youth collaboration can generate massive positive energy for the educational climate in our region,” said Dr. Fauziah Afriyani, Head of the Cooperation Bureau at Universitas IGM.
This event was specifically designed as a platform for creativity as well as a competition to assess students’ competencies and non-academic talents. The presence of dozens of school delegations underscored the importance of a competitive platform for recognition at the regional level. The participants’ enthusiasm was evident in the intense competition in every category, which began early in the morning.
“We see great potential in every school representative here, and this event serves as an initial demonstration of their champion mentality,” said M. Yassar Mubarak, Coordinator of the South Sumatra Student Council Forum.
In addition to the competition, the organizing committee also equipped participants through intensive seminars covering leadership, public speaking, and personal branding.
The first session was led by Dwiki Adi Putra, S.Ip, M.AP, who shared strategies for building a strong personal brand on social media and in the real world. “The combination of these three core skills is the key asset that young people must master in order to compete and lead in the future,” he said.
Meanwhile, Sahara Anugrah explored the essence of leadership for Generation Z in the digital age. The presentation was then continued by Rizki Mahendra, who provided practical techniques for speaking persuasively in public. (andhiko ta)
