Dapatkan Pengalaman Global Melalui Program Relawan Internasional

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Halo teman-teman IPC.

Kali ini kita akan membahas Program Relawan AIESEC di UGM.

Nah, tamu kita untuk Tea Time kali ini adalah Ardyaksa Pramudita. Dia adalah Local Head of Incoming Global Volunteer AIESEC di Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM).

Tahukah Anda apa itu AIESEC? AIESEC adalah organisasi internasional untuk kaum muda yang membantu mengembangkan potensi kepemimpinan mereka. Organisasi ini berfokus pada pengembangan kepemimpinan pemuda. Ia juga merupakan “duta besar” di luar negeri untuk melaksanakan proyek-proyek sosial. Tujuan AIESEC adalah memberdayakan kaum muda untuk perdamaian dan pemenuhan potensi umat manusia. Organisasi ini berdiri sejak 1946 dan hingga saat ini telah eksis di 185 negara dengan ribuan cabang.

Menurut Ardyaksa, AIESEC di UGM merupakan salah satu organisasi kemahasiswaan di UGM. Unit Kegiatan Mahasiswa (UKM) ini beraktivitas sejak 2013. “AIESEC melakukan beberapa kegiatan di UGM seperti mengurus program relawan di luar negeri dan juga di kota Yogyakarta, serta magang,” jelas Ardyaksa sebagai perwakilan AIESEC pada bincang-bincang Tea Time International Program Komunikasi UII pada Jumat (25/2/2021).

Proyek Global Volunteer yang dilakukan AIESEC adalah berupaya melaksanakan salah satu dari rencana negara-negara dunia yang dikenal dengan Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDGs di setiap negara berbeda-beda fokusnya. Misalnya Vietnam mendukung pendidikan, maka siswa yang mendaftar untuk mengikuti Global Volunteer di Vietnam akan mengajar bahasa Inggris ke sekolah dasar atau taman kanak-kanak.

Melalui Live Instagram di akun ip.communication.uii, Ardyaksa menjelaskan bahwa Program Global Volunteer tidak dibatasi umur. Siapa saja boleh ikut. Namun sebagian besar program ini diikuti oleh pelajar. Alasannya karena banyak pelajar yang ingin merasakan pengalaman menjadi relawan di luar negeri.

Jenis-Jenis Program AIESEC

Program ini memiliki dua jenis proyek. Proyek outcoming dan proyek incoming. Proyek outgoing adalah mengirim relawan ke luar negeri. Sedangkan proyek incoming adalah membuat proyek yang dilaksanakan di Yogyakarta. Pada proyek incoming ke dalam negeri ini, orang-orang dari luar negeri datang ke dalam negeri untuk melihat proyek yang sedang AIESEC buat.

Proyek outgoing yang dilakukan sebelum pandemi dihadiri oleh 20 orang dari luar negeri dan 20 orang dari relawan lokal. Jadi AIESEC UGM akan mengurus semua kebutuhan pelamar yang menjadi relawan. Mulai dari mengurus visa, tempat tinggal, makanan, dan lain-lain. Sebelum berangkat ke luar negeri, pelamar akan dilatih terlebih dahulu dan diberi pengetahuan tentang apa yang harus dilakukan saat menjadi relawan di luar negeri.

The outgoing project will be carried out in the winter from December 2021 to January and February 2022. Furthermore, the incoming project will be carried out in winter also in 2022. Unfortunately, during this pandemic AIESEC at UGM has not been able to carry out the outgoing project. However, AIESEC has implemented a Virtual Volunteer program which is held through the zoom meeting application. This Virtual Volunteer Program is called a Local Project.

Local Projects are implemented virtually for four weeks. This program discusses a workshop, especially on economics. This is because AIESEC at UGM runs SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) No.8: empowering the economy in the Yogyakarta region. This virtual activity is also filled with sharing sessions from partners from other countries. This sharing session is useful for obtaining experience and knowledge from other

This program, said Ardyaksa, is open to all young people in Yogyakarta. The process, before becoming outgoing or incoming volunteers, they will be trained first. They will get acquainted with other young people among the participants, and will learn how to make something so that they can market the results of their creativity / craft. “The goal is that the younger generation in Yogyakarta can support Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), move the wheels of the economy, develop leadership, and increase public awareness,” he added then.

Registration for this Local Project will open in April or May. The plan, AIESEC will carry out this project in July-June. According to Ardyaksa’s narrative, further information can be seen on AIESEC UGM social media on Instagram. “The only requirement is to collect a curriculum vitae / CV and the reasons why you want to take part in this program,” explained Ardyaksa, who is now also active as a Learning Representative at Widya Edu, a start-up company for an interactive online learning platform.

The purpose of making a CV is to see the background of the applicant. Curriculum vitae will be matched with applicants who have the same interests so they can collaborate.

Take it easy, this Local Project program will still provide training for those of you who register, because AIESEC UGM will monitor and control the activities that will be carried out during the program. AIESEC UGM will also take care of pre-project to post-project. By participating in the Local Project at AIESEC UGM, you will get unforgettable experiences, meet new friends, get sharing sessions from other countries, get to know the conditions of other countries, and much more.

Gain Global Experience Through International Volunteering

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Hello IPC friends. This time we will discuss the AIESEC Volunteer Program at UGM. The program that will make us easier to Gain Global Experience Through International Volunteering.

So, our guest for this Tea Time of IPC is Ardyaksa Pramudita. He is the Local Head of Incoming Global Volunteer AIESEC at Gadjah Mada University (UGM). So, let’s check this out. The International Program of Communication talkshow.

Do you know what AIESEC is? AIESEC is an international organization for young people helping to develop their leadership potential. This organization focuses on youth leadership development. It is also an “ambassador” abroad for carrying out social projects. AIESEC’s goal is to empower young people for peace and the fulfillment of humanity’s potential. This organization was founded in 1946 and to date has existed in 185 countries with thousands of branches.

According to Ardyaksa, AIESEC at UGM is one of the student organizations at UGM. This Student Activity Unit has been active since 2013. “AIESEC has carried out several activities at UGM such as managing volunteer programs abroad and also in the city of Yogyakarta, as well as internships,” explained Ardyaksa as AIESEC representative at the IPC Tea Time talk on Friday ( 25/2/2021).

The Global Volunteer Project carried out by AIESEC is trying to implement one of the plans of world countries known as Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs in each country differ in focus. For example Vietnam focused on supporting education, so students who register to take part in Global Volunteer in Vietnam will teach English to primary schools or kindergartens.

Through Live Instagram on the ip.communication.uii account, Ardyaksa explained that the Global Volunteer Program is not limited by age. Anyone can join. However, most of these programs are followed by students of senior high school. The reason is because many students want to experience volunteering abroad.

Kind of Programs

This program has two types of projects. Outcoming projects and incoming projects. The outgoing project is to send volunteers abroad. Meanwhile, the incoming project is a project that is implemented in Yogyakarta. In the incoming project to this country, people from abroad come to the country to see the project that AIESEC is making.

The outgoing project carried out before the pandemic was attended by 20 people from abroad and 20 people from local volunteers. So AIESEC UGM will take care of all the needs of applicants who become volunteers. Starting from taking care of visas, housing, food, and others. Before leaving for overseas, applicants will be trained in advance and given knowledge on what to do when volunteering abroad.

Virtual Art Exhibition Amidst of a Covid-19 Pandemic

Reading Time: 3 minutes

The Students of the Department of Communication of UII held a Virtual Exhibition to fulfill their assignments  from the Creative Media Production course.. They are all students of the International Program Class of the Department of Communication Science. The output of this course assignment is in the form of a digital exhibition consisting of four  projects from four groups by the batch 2018.

The Four groups consist of online magazines, comics, photo stories, and videos. Each of them performs the task of defining, conceptualizing, and working on projects while consulting with a lecturer in the Creative Media Production course.

Ida Nuraini Dewi KN, as a lecturer in the Creative Media Production course, explained that this exhibition was held so that students of the International Program of Communication Department could pour their ideas and creativity into the creative media projects that they designed. In addition, students are finally able to implement the theories that have been obtained in the Creative Media Production course with their own creativity. Everything they learn about creative media production, photography, creative writing and videography can be turned into an art creation.

This project can also be enjoyed by everyone because it can be opened anywhere and anytime on the link provided. This exhibition was held virtually for the sake of mitigating Covid-19. UII’s Department of Communication also fully supports projects made by students of this International Program. You can also see their description of the project on the UII Communications Program International social media, on their Instagram Live at ip.communication.uii, and on this link.

 What Creation Did They Make?

The first group carried a zine with the theme Zine: A Female Quandary. Its contents about their anxiety about issues concerning women. This work also looks at how women are in society. How are women experienced marginalization, to what kind of fears women experience in their social life. The output of this group is an online magazine that can be read virtually at this link.

The second group chose comic as the medium. The title is Diary of 2020. This group tells about the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic. This comic tells the story of how the two characters in the comic tell during the six to seven months at the start of the pandemic. The story in it is also made unique and fresh because it shows how a student or teen sees the corona virus. They address social phenomena such as watching news, to their concern for the use of non-medical masks and cloth masks. You can also read this comic on the Line Webtoon application with the title Diary of 2020, which can also be seen at This Line Webtoon Link.

The Four groups consist of online magazines, comics, photo stories, and videos. Each of them performs the task of defining, conceptualizing, and working on projects while consulting with a lecturer in the Creative Media Production course.

The third group carries the theme Pandemic Story: Public Spaces. This group created a Photo Story project that tells about a pandemic in places visited by the community or in public spaces. The group also took photos from 3 different cities in their respective regions. Each of them hunted photos in different public spaces, the first in shopping centers such as markets and malls, the second in the Bandung city square on Jalan Braga, where this street was always busy before the pandemic, the third was the airport and the mosque. The photos they took tell how things have changed in public after the Covid-19 pandemic. You can also view his work at this link.

The fourth group carries the theme of the Promotional Video Project entitled The Hidden Treasure of Gunung Kidul. This project describes the condition of the tourist sites of Wonosari Beach and other beaches around Gunung Kidul. They explain the beauty and potential of the three beaches in the videos they make. These three beaches were chosen because they were not well known to the public, and the Covid-19 pandemic has weakened the economy around the coast. Their work can be seen on Youtube with the title “gunungkidul treasure”, which can also be seen at this Channel.

What did they say about IPC Program?

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Muthia IP student 2018 said: I joined the P2A (Passage to Asean) Program, that is a required program for 3rd semester IPC students. But I joined the other P2A program that held by UII for another majors at 1st semester with Coffe Story theme in Jogja and followed by students from other countries.

In the first year there is a course called Bridging Program, at the end of semester 2 there is graduation for all IP students. Then there is the activity of welcoming batch 2 named Welcoming IP students. On the first day they make introductions, on the second day is filled with a kind of game. Then there is the International Seminar whose speakers are from abroad.

Studying in IP feels like a bit challenged because I was a batch 1 IP student, but I was excited while undergoing the P2A program, because I made new friends from ASEAN. When participating in P2A can also feel the experience of international exposure. Then I felt challenged when I got the assignment discussing international cases, so I often read foreign journals, foreign news, and others.

For the next plan, I want to find companies that have international exposure or multinational companies.

Jemima IP student 2019 said: I was a transfer student from regular communication science to IP. The condition is to increase the tuition for adjusts the facilities obtained. Then I had to get a toefl score of at least 450 to meet the standard of IP class and parental consent letter.

I moved to IP class after midterm in semester 1. Actually in IP more feels to have a high standard, starting from more difficult materials, higher classmate standards, and make the competitive atmosphere in learning more felt.

In the first year we got Bridging Program (Academic Writing). Further programs are P2A, Exchange, and Double Degree Abroad. Similar talkshow programs such as teatime are run once a week every Friday and the themes controlled by the IP student and adjusted to what is happening at this time.

—————–

Arsila IP student 2020 said: During this semester I feel that all lecturers teach earnestly, maximally in giving explanations. The tasks given were also not monotonous, so I was able to explore myself in some skills, such as designing, making videos, and making research proposals.

Now I’m going through a virtual program with Rangsit University in Thailand. I take the topic of tourism and hospitality. Actually I got into trouble when the program was run virtually, because the information could not be captured clearly. But I’m very happy because I can practice English skills more and make more friends.

Pada kesempatan kali ini, Risky Falahiyah, dibantu Zarkoni, memfasilitasi dan melatih tim website untuk Uniicoms TV, TV online milik Komunikasi UII, tim website Pusat Studi dan Dokumentasi Media Alternatif/ PSDMA Nadim, dan tim website International Program Komunikasi UII (IPC).

Ifa Zulkurnaini, staf Nadim Komunikasi UII, mengatakan dirinya tidak begitu sulit mengikuti paparan Risky. “Mungkin karena latar belakang saya yang SMK Teknik Komputer dan Jaringan jadi tak sulit mengikuti,” katanya.

Sedangkan Desyatri Parawahyu, staf Laboratorium Komunikasi UII dan Unit Manager Uniicoms TV, ini mengaku perlu pelan-pelan mengikuti pembelajaran membangun website Uniicoms TV, Komunikasi UII. Ia sangat terbantu dengan kerja tim seperti Evan Sumardiantoro dann Yudi Winarto yang khusus melakukan desain rancang bangun tampilan web lewat aplikasi Figma.

Risky Falahiyah, a speaker from Websupport of  UII Public Relations, said that web design will be easier if the image design is visible. “Only then will the layout be better on the online page. You can draw a web display plan through the Figma application,” said Risky at the Web Layout and Design Workshop for website management staff in  Department of Communications  UII  on Tuesday (23/2 / 2021).

Website is like a home. According to Zarkoni, UII Communication staff, in this training all staff will learn to improve their own capacity from building houses as well as their interiors. “When the web domain address has been created, the team’s responsibility is to finalize the interior of the website.

Meningkatkan Performa dan Fleksibilitas Jurnal Dengan Migrasi ke OJS 3

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Pengelola Jurnal se-UII mulai melakukan beberapa rangkaian pelatihan guna memperbarui kualitas layanan dan substansi naskah jurnal. Misalnya beberapa waktu yang lalu, para pengelola jurnal mengundang Asesor dari LLDikti menilai kualitas jurnal untuk akreditasi/ reakreditasi.

Kini, pelatihan bertajuk “Workshop Pengelolaan Jurnal Ilmiah Berbasis OJS 3” mencoba mengajak para pengelola jurnal memahami dan mempersiapkan diri untuk migrasi dari Open Journal System (OJS) versi 2 saat ini ke versi 3.

Yuli Andriansyah, selaku narasumber workshop kali ini mengatakan secara sistem OJS 3 lebih praktis dari OJS 2 yang dipakai saat ini. Pihak OJS 3 menekankan bahwa mereka kini lebih responsif dan memiliki konsep feedback. Feedback ini maksudnya, “ngobrol dengan author ini jadi lebih fleksibel,” katanya. “Bahkan kita bisa berkomunikasi langsung antar peran dalam satu grup di OJS,” ungkap Yuli yang juga adalah Dosen FIAI UII, ini pada Kamis (18/2/2021).

Menurut Yuli, migrasi adalah keniscayaan. Cepat atau lambat, semua jurnal tentu akan migrasi, menanggapi pertanyaan salah satu peserta.

“Apakah kalau menerbitkan jurnal baru harus sudah menggunakan OJS 3?” Tanya As’ad Royan, salah satu peserta dari Unit Jurnal dan Publikasi Karya Ilmiah FPSB UII, tersebut lewat kolom chat pada aplikasi Zoom Meeting.

“Saya bukan orang yang bisa memutuskan itu. Tapi saya menyarankan kalau kita lihat OJS 1 sudah diberhentikan servicenya, dan kalau kita ke OJS 3 pun tidak terlalu sulit, saya rasa tidak ada ruginya kita migrasi langsung ke OJS 3,” kata Yuli berpendapat.

Soal tampilan dan pencatatan statistik performa kunjungan web, Yuli menjelaskan, bahwa OJS 3 sudah menyiapkan sistem terintegrasi dengan google analytics bahkan. Secara tamilan juga lebih indah bisa dikustomasi sendiri. “Bawaan asli OJS itu google analytics. Biar database-nya kuat. Bukan statcounter. Statcounter ini kewajiban dikti,” ungkapnya.

Satu kelebihan lain, OJS 3 bisa menambahkan peran baru yaitu Language Editor. Pada OJS 2 peran Language Editor dijadikan satu di proofreader.

Dodik Setiawan, Dosen FH UII, pengelola Jurnal di Fakultas Hukum, juga bertanya. “Apakah di OJS 3 itu bisa menambahkan nomor WA,” tanyanya.

“Jika API WA itu ada tersedia, jadi sejatinya secara teoritis itu bisa dikoneksikan dengan pesan WA langsung,” jawab Yuli. OJS 3, menurut Yuli, memungkinkan koneksi dengan beragam aplikasi, jika aplikasi bersangkutan menyediakan API yang bisa diakses terbuka.

Pada lain kesempatan pascapelatihan, Heri Sudarsono, dosen pengelola Jurnal JEKI, mengatakan bahwa harapan dari pelaksanaan workshop ini adalah agar dapat ditindaklanjuti dengan beberapa workshop OJS berikutnya. “Target kita semakin yakin dan termotivasi untuk migrasi ke OJS 3,” katanya optimis.

Menurut Heri, setelah mendapat penjelasan dari narasumber, ia berpendapat bahwa dengan menggunakan sistem OJS 3, bisa dipertanggungjawabkan keilmiahan naskahnya. “Penjelasan Pak Yuli itu OJS 3 itu sangat bagus,” katanya.

Heri juga menambahkan bahwa tim internal di tingkat universitas akan berupaya merumuskan model migrasi bagi seluruh jurnal di lingkungan UII. Rumusan tersebut berusaha mempertimbangkan berbagai risiko yang akan mungkin dihadapi. Termasuk kendala dan risiko keamanan dan kehilangan data yang ditanyakan oleh beberapa peserta.

Improving Journal Performance and Flexibility by Migrating to OJS 3

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Journal Managers at UII have started to carry out a series of trainings to update the quality of service and substance of journal manuscripts. For example, some time ago, journal managers invited assessors from LLDikti to assess the quality of journals for accreditation / re-accreditation.

Now, the training entitled “Workshop on Management of Scientific Journals Based on OJS 3” tries to invite journal managers to understand and prepare themselves for the migration from the current version 2 of the Open Journal System (OJS) to version 3.

Yuli Andriansyah, as the workshop resource person, said in a systemic manner OJS 3 is more practical than OJS 2 in use today. OJS 3 emphasized that they are now more responsive and have a feedback concept. This feedback means, “chatting with this author is more flexible,” he said. “In fact, we can communicate directly between roles in a group at OJS,” said Yuli, who is also a lecturer at FIAI UII, this Thursday (18/2/2021).

According to Yuli, migration is a necessity. Sooner or later, all journals will of course migrate, responding to a question by one of the participants.

“Is it necessary for a new journal to use OJS 3?” Asked As’ad Royan, one of the participants from the Journal and Publication Unit of FPSB UII’s Scientific Works, through the chat column on the Zoom Meeting application.

“I am not the person who can decide that. But I suggest that if we see OJS 1 has terminated its service, and if we go to OJS 3 it is not too difficult, I think there is nothing to lose if we migrate directly to OJS 3,” said Yuli.

Regarding the display and recording of web visit performance statistics, Yuli explained that OJS 3 has even prepared an integrated system with Google Analytics. The view is also more beautiful, you can customize yourself. “The original OJS product is google analytics. So that the database is strong. Not a statcounter. This statcounter is a DIKTI obligation,” he said.

One other advantage, OJS 3 can add a new role, namely Language Editor. In OJS 2, the role of Language Editor is combined in the proofreader’s role.

Dodik Setiawan, Lecturer at FH UII, Journal manager at the Faculty of Law, also asked. “Can OJS 3 add WhatsApp (WA) numbers,” he asked.

“If the WA API is available, theoretically it can actually be connected with a direct WA message,” Yuli replied. OJS 3, according to Yuli, allows connection with various applications, if the application provides an API that can be accessed openly.

On another post-training occasion, Heri Sudarsono, a lecturer who manages the JEKI Journal, said that the hope of the implementation of this workshop is that it can be followed up with the next few OJS workshops. “Our target is increasingly confident and motivated to migrate to OJS 3,” he said optimistically.

According to Heri, after receiving an explanation from the resource person, he was of the opinion that by using the OJS 3 system, the scriptures could be accounted for. “Pak Yuli’s explanation that OJS 3 is very good,” he said.

Heri also added that the internal team at the university level would try to formulate a migration model for all journals in UII. This formula tries to consider the various risks that might be faced. Including the security and data loss constraints and risks that were asked by some of the participants.
