Teatime: Developing Self-Quality at International Events

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Many students feel that their lives are just like that. Their life is just college, playing social media, and watching online. Many activities are waiting for us to participate in, both national and events.

The Teatime chat event, routinely held by the International Communication Program at the Universitas Islam Indonesia (IPC UII), invites Rafif Sulthan as a speaker. He is an alumnus of the UII Communication Department, class of 2017, who has participated in a simulation of the UN meeting. Rafif, currently working as Digital Content at Sport 77, participated in MUN (Model United Nation) in Malaysia while still studying in semester 2. The casual teatime chat on Friday, January 21, 2022, was titled The Importance of International Skill as a medium to Expand Skills.

At the beginning of college, Rafif felt he needed a lot of experience participating in various activities. He believes that sharing these activities will lead to and open up many opportunities for new activities and broaden his social horizons. One day, a friend from the Department of International Relations gave him information about an international event called Model United Nations (MUN). “At first, I didn’t know much about it, so I googled it to find out more. I studied, and I thought about what part I could participate in,” thought Rafif at the time.

From the start, Rafif knew about this opportunity and immediately decided to participate. He feels that all activities will allow him to develop himself. “I have to go with this. I thought if I went with me, I would be a better person than I was yesterday,” he said.

And sure enough, the opportunity to participate with many people from all over the world and take part in a simulation of the UN’s official meeting as a French journalist gave him the knowledge and honed his new skills in writing articles seriously. “I participated in an event, and there were many challenges. Many meet with many people, so more networking. I had to be able to because I was forced to speak, I had to speak English, and I also wrote articles in English,” recalls Rafif.

Participating in international events attended by various national backgrounds and various backgrounds made Rafif realize that there are so many great people out there. He also learns that the world is vast, with multiple abilities and diverse views. “Realize that the world is big and diverse. Lots of cool people out there.”

In addition to new views, Rafif also had the opportunity to hone his skills. “I got a lot. What is certain is that my confidence has increased in public speaking and writing. Wider networking, as well as better analytical skills,” said Rafif.
