According to Irene, members of the diffablezone community initially took part in batik activities at the Christian Foundation for Public Health (YAKKUM). One of the teachers was part of difabelzone.id. “In the beginning, they were trained to batik for 3 month, it’s finished. They have no next plan, they were confused. Then Ibu Wuri and I, and another mother, facilitated these members of difabelzone who had good skill. Initially six people.” Irene said. 

After practicing, after two years the community’s works were ready to be marketed. “And thank God, alhamdulillah, we got a free exhibition space in Jakarta and some of our works were bought by the Sri Lankan ambassador. Two months ago, their work also flew to America,” said Irene.

 “In essence, we want to help friends with disabilities to be independent. They can make money and they can help their families,” continued Irene.

How are the sales of batik products going on during the pandemic? 

“We put difabelzone before the pandemic and sold it in Mirota Malioboro, in Baim Wong Batik Store, and in several places. At the time of the corona pandemic, everything stopped. We thought that friends with disabilities had to be able to keep making money,” said Irene explained the impact of the pandemic on this community. 

Finally the sale goes from friend to friend. “So far it is still running,” added Irene.

Later, this community also won the trust of one of the big companies. Their work becomes company merchandise. Slowly it can be finally. “Thank you to UII friends for coming and sharing blessings. Blessings for those who are given and those who give. 

Vadhiya hopes that what they are doing can open the eyes of people who have always looked down upon people with disabilities. “Oh no, we have been so far have no consciousness, unwilling, and unwilling to know about them. Even though when I went there, I had to learn a lot from them. They make batik neat, if you see it is like a very good craft, impeccably” said Vadhiya, appreciating.

Ifa Zulkurnaini, the moderator for Nadim at UII, concluded that the bad stigma of diffable people around us arises because we do not want to know and do not mingle. The introductory process must be natural. “Do it. If it is done sincerely, of course the empowerment will touch our hearts more,” she said closing the discussion.

Siyamuromadon is the month in which man strengthens the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad to be a person who fears Allah swt. The command to fast in the month of Ramadan is said by Allah and is obligatory for all his servants. The month of Ramadan is a very special month, the month in which the Qur’an was first revealed as well as the time when Muhammad was first appointed as a prophet after settling in the Cave of Hira. This Quran is a guide that separates between the true and the false.

Fatkhurrohman Kamal that the month of fasting should be prepared. He also says what we need to prepare when it comes to Ramadan. According to Kemal, the most basic preparation is mental preparation. “Mentally obedient,” said Kamal as a speaker in the monthly routine study of FPSB UII on Friday (26/3/2021). The study themed Celebrate Ramadan, Yuk Preparation was attended by the entire academic community of FPSB UII from lecturers to educators.

Fasting is very visible to human beings in the physical level. However, it can be felt that fasting does not only affect the physical entity. Rather, God further wants to remind man that man is also a spiritual entity. “God wants to remind us that this material is a spiritual entity,” Kamal explained.

What is a Spiritual Entity like? An entity that is far from human nature, and attains the term that is to rise in rank to a position very close to God.

“So rest assured that there is an extraordinary peace when we can give to others, can fast, and other commands of God. At that time we experience the term,” explained Kamal. This position of the term can be easily achieved if man spiritually already has a mentally obedient and obedient to God, considering that obedience and obedience is something that seems trivial but difficult to apply by man.

To reach this entity, Kamal explained that human beings need an extraordinary inner preparation. So at the end of the verse that commands to fast, Al-Baqarah verse 183 ends with  la’allakum tattaqun. The ultimate goal of this fast is for human beings to become completely pious to God. This piety will enable man to make a shield from what he fears from the punishment and wrath of Allah.

Hello IPC friends !!

This time we will discuss AIESEC again. Last week we discussed Global Volunteer at AIESEC UGM, now in this week’s episode we will discuss Global Talent at AIESEC UGM.

Oh yeah, before that our guest this time was Fadila Amani, she was the AIESEC Marketing Initiative Team Leader at UGM.

What is Global Talent?

Global Talent is a program offered by AIESEC at UGM that focuses on internships abroad with the aim of developing leadership. This program is a paid program. By paying four million rupiahs, you will get the best experience until you return to Indonesia. Unlike the Global Volunteer, this program only consists of Outgoing Global Talent where AIESEC UGM sends internships to various AIESEC member countries.

This program consists of three types, namely short, medium, and long term. You can choose which program you want to join. Short term 6-12 weeks, medium term 13-26 weeks, and long term 27-78 weeks. Usually students prefer a short term to fill their vacation time. For the countries to be targeted, you can choose which countries are members of AIESEC in the world.

During your internship, you don’t need to worry because AIESEC UGM will help you when you have difficulties. Companies that work together are also guaranteed to get an extraordinary experience, because working for a foreign company will develop their English language skills. Apart from that, you will also get experiences from cultures in other countries.

“Internships abroad can motivate other people to do good things. You can also work with challenges, so you can be aware of problems outside ourselves,” said Fadila.

Before you choose the country to go to, AIESEC UGM will help by discussing which country you prefer, the language you are fluent in, and what field you want. Later it can make it easier for you to do an internship at the company.

“For the most important requirement is a CV, 19-30 years old, and a minimum of 5 semesters. So this program is also open to those of you who have graduated from college and want to do internships abroad, ” said Fadila.

Fadila explained, when a pandemic like this occurs, AIESEC UGM will follow the Global Safety Protocol in each destination country. “Before going to Indonesia, we will hold a seminar to discuss emergency procedures, safety protocols, and ensure that you have health insurance,” said Fadila in the middle of Teatime’s Live Instagram discussion on Friday (5/3).

“During the internship abroad, we will monitor every week, how is his health, problems, or anything about the internship. Before returning to Indonesia, you must also have a health certificate, follow health protocols and self-quarantine. So AIESEC UGM really guarantees and helps your problems, “said Fadila who also guaranteed.

Apart from internships, you can also vacation in the country, because there is vacation time so you don’t work continuously. Besides that, you can also explore the culinary and culture there.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Workshop Tata Letak dan Desain Web
Reading Time: 2 minutes

Designing the official website of an institution from scratch requires a concept and even a detailed pictorial design plan. The concept of the navigation menu must also consider the needs and goals of the web created.

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. Prepare the elements that need to appear on the web according to the pixel size required in this UII’s web template,” said Zarkoni who is also web maintenance  of communication.uii.ac.id.

Designing the official website of an institution from scratch requires a concept and even a detailed pictorial design plan. The concept of the navigation menu must also consider the needs and goals of the web created.

 

On this occasion, Risky Falahiyah, assisted by Zarkoni, facilitated and trained the website team for Uniicoms TV, UII Communication’s online TV, the website team for the Center for Study and Documentation of Alternative Media / PSDMA Nadim, and the website team for the International  Programof Communication UII (IPC).

Ifa Zulkurnaini, UII Communications Nadim staff, said that it was not so difficult for him to follow Risky’s presentation. “Maybe because my background is in the Computer and Network Engineering Vocational School, it is not difficult to follow,” she said.

Meanwhile, Desyatri Parawahyu, staff of the UII Communication Laboratory and Unit Manager of Uniicoms TV, admitted that she needed to slowly take part in learning to build the Uniicoms TV website, UII Communication. She was greatly helped by teamwork such as Iven Sumardiantoro and Yudi Winarto who specifically designed the web interface design through the Figma application.

The Figma application makes web display design easy because its features are easy to recognize. Figma does function to design the user interface to adjust the user experience of the UII Communication web.

Zarkoni hopes that web managers can work a maximum in the next three weeks. Basically, the development of website development will be monitored every week.

Risky also expressed the same hope. He said the website as the foreground of the house should be designed with the right choice of colors and elements. “As much as possible, follow the branding guide set by the Public Relations of UII.”
