How to Plan Events During a Pandemic 

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Imagine the excitement of watching festivals and concerts, which are always decorated with sparkling lights at some points and combined with dim, colorful lights at other angles. Unique ornaments add to the joy of gathering with friends in a busy atmosphere. Suddenly the covid outbreak hit, making all the excitement have to stop. Everyone must stay at home. Traveling is limited, let alone gathering with friends to enjoy concerts.

Presenting the excitement of concerts and the aura of festivals is a challenge that all event activists had never imagined before the outbreak of Covid19. In the Teatime talk show held by the International Program of Communication department, the Islamic University of Indonesia discussed how to organize events in the era of the co-19 pandemic. The event titled “How to do event management in the pandemic era” presents Ibnu Darmawan, Junior Lecture at the Department of Communication, Universitas Islam Indonesia, on April 1, 2022, live on the Instagram account ip.communication.uii.

“The ability to adapt and think creatively must be possessed in an era that is now going digital,” said Ibnu Darmawan. This challenge requires event activists to look for ideas to continue providing entertainment amid a pandemic without leaving the excitement and aura of concerts that have so far been held in open spaces or other public spaces.

Preparation What Needs to be done?

The question is, what must be done or what skills must be possessed to adapt to the pandemic era? Ibnu Darmawan provides tips and tricks to make the event more focused. According to Ibnu, following the basic regulations set by the ministry of tourism and creative economy (Kemenparekraf) in 2022, to hold events in a very limited manner and with a strict format.

This restriction can be an interesting format for hosting full or hybrid virtual events. The second tip is to use the SMART formula by organizing specific, measurable events, paying attention to your goals and resources, being relevant, and having a reasonable timetable.

In addition to the mentality that is always ready to face change, people who work to manage events must have excellent communication skills. “Adaptive to very dynamic events, event organizing is a field that depends on the environment. Previously there was offline to online. The challenges are very different,” Ibnu added.

Looking at the digital world that continues to open opportunities to connect with various parts of the world and completely different fields, Ibnu underlines communication and collaboration skills. “Communication skills are a must, how to negotiate with various parties, especially sponsorship-related. Another keyword is collaboration. The style of work now is more collaborative,” said Ibnu.

Teatime: Merencanakan Acara Saat Pandemi

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Terbayang keseruan menonton festival maupun konser yang selalu dihias dengan lampu gemerlap di beberapa titik dan dipadu dengan lampu remang berwarna warni di sudut lain. Ornamen unik menambah keriangan berkumpul bersama teman  dalam keramaian suasana. Tiba-tiba wabah covid melanda, membuat semua kegembiraan harus berhenti. Semua orang harus tetap dirumah. Bepergian dibatasi apalagi berkumpul bersama teman-teman menikmati konser.

Menghadirkan keseruan konser dan aura festival menjadi tantangan yang tak pernah dibayangkan oleh semua pegiat event sebelum covid19 merebak. Dalam acara bincang Teatime yang diselenggrakan International Program of Communication department Universitas islam Indonesia membahas bagaimana menyelenggarakan event di era pandemic covid19. Acara bertajuk “How to do event management in the pandemic era” ini menghadirkan Ibnu Darmawan, Junior Lecture di Jurusan Ilmu Komunikasi, Universitas islam Indonesia, pada 1 April 2022 secara live di akun Instragram ip.communication.uii.

“Kemampuan adaptasi dan berpikir kreatif harus dimiliki di era yang kini akan mengarah ke digital,” ujar Ibnu Darmawan. Tantangan ini menuntuk para pegiat event untuk mencari ide agar tetap menghadirkan hiburan di tengah pandemi tanpa meninggalkan keseruan dan aura konser yang selama ini dilakukan secara di ruang terbuka atau public space lainnya.

Persiapan Apa yang Perlu dilakukan?

Pertanyaannya, apa yang harus dilakukan dilakukan atau kamampuan apa yang harus dimiliki untuk beradaptasi di era pandemi.  Ibnu Darmawan memberikan tips dan trik untuk membuat event yang akan diselenggarakan menjadi lebih terarah. Menurut Ibnu, mengikuti peraturan dasar yang ditetapkan oleh kementrian pariwisata dan ekonomi kreatif (kemenparekraf) tahun 2022 untuk menyelenggrakan event dengan sangat terbatas dan dengan format yang ketat.

Pembatasan ini bisa menjadi format yang sangat menarik dengan menyelenggarakan event virtual penuh ataupun hybrid. Tips kedua adalah dengan menggunakan SMART formula dengan menyelenggarakan event dengan spesifik, terukur, memperhatikan tujuan dan sumberdaya yang dimiliki, relevan, dan memilki time table yang masuk akal.

Selain mental yang selalu siap menghadapi perubahan, orang yang bekerja untuk memgelola event harus memiliki keterampilan komunikasi yang unggul. “Adaptif dengan kejadian yang sangat dinamis, event organize adalah satu bidang yang tergantung lngkungan. Tadinya ada ofline ke online. Tantangannya sangat berbeda,” Ibnu menambahi.

Melihat dunia digital yang terus membuka peluang untuk terhubung dengan berbagai belahan dunia dan berbagai bidang yang sama sekali berbeda, Ibnu menggarisbawahi keterampilan komunikasi dan kolaborasi. “Skill komunikasi menjadi keharusan, bagaimana negosisiasi dengan berbagai pihak, terutama dengan terkait sponsorship. Kata kunci lainnya adalah kolaborasi. Gaya bekerja sekarang lebih ke arah kolaboratif,” papar Ibnu.

Don’t Wait for the Mood to Do Your Thesis

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Talking about the days of the final semester when you have to struggle with finishing and writing a thesis, days can seem very heavy. Discipline and a support system will help through that stressful day.

The discussion about the thesis days became the topic of the Teatime program, hosted by Arsila and Ola, students of the International Program in Communication at UII. The teatime entitled “Talking About Thesis Defense and Final Years Student Life in IPC UII” invited Muhammad Aditya Arvian, a student of the International Program of Communication Department, on Friday, March 25, 2022.

Muhammad Aditya Arvian, usually called Adit, recounted his days at the end of the semester. He said his day was not as many people imagine. “Don’t imagine me working on my thesis and waiting for the laptop day and night. Not really. There is also a lot of free time,“ said Adit.

But being too preoccupied with a lot of free time is also not beneficial. The time he has to work on the thesis is enough for him to complete it. Sometimes there is a hard time, and sometimes, there is a time to loose. One thing he underlined in carrying out his thesis days: “Don’t wait for a good mood,” said Adit. “If you’re in a bad mood, calm down first then remember again what goal is.”

Overcoming it is also sometimes challenging. It takes the ability to regulate self-will and reluctance. The word discipline is not enough to help get out of laziness. Setting targets and being consistent day after day is the key.

“I am committed to making progress every day, even if only by making one sentence or paragraph,” Adit said, remembering the process of writing his thesis. Adit noted that the process was often profitable. Because sometimes, there are days when you are very excited and can write several pages at once.

Apart from daily progress, Adit also provides self-rewards to trigger him to complete his thesis. He’ll have a lot of free time to spend on whatever he loves if he can finish before the deadline. “For example, next Wednesday, I have to finish Chapter 2, and I will have a personal deadline to finish on Sunday. If it’s finished before that day, I have a long free time,” said Adit.

In addition to the motivation built within himself, Adit admits that friends are a formidable support system in completing the thesis. “Friends are needed. Very supportive. Many have encouraged me when there is a fear of not finishing the thesis. Some friends can also be friends for discussion. Seeing the progress of other friends also triggers myself to be even more enthusiastic.”

Teatime: Garap Skripsi Jangan Nunggu Mood

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Berbincang tentang hari-hari semester akhir yang harus bergumul dengan penyelesaian dan penulisan tesis, hari-hari sepertinya bisa terasa sangat berat. Disiplin dan support system akan sangat membantu melalui hari yang penuh tekanan itu.

Obrolan tentang hari-hari skripsi itu menjadi topik acara Teatime yang dipandu oleh Arsila dan Ola, keduanya adalah mahasiswa Program Internasional di Komunikasi UII. Teatime yang bertajuk “Talking About Thesis Defence and Final Years Life Student in IPC UII” itu mengundang Muhammad Aditya Arvian, salah satu mahasiswa International Program of Communication Department pada Jumat, 25 Maret 2022.

Muhammad Aditya Arvian yang biasa disapa Adit itu menceritakan hari-harinya di akhir semester. Dia bilang, harinya tidak seperti yang banyak orang banyangkan. “Jangan dibayangin aku ngerjain skripsi dan nungguin laptop siang malem. Nggak juga. Banyak juga waktu luang,” kata Adit.

Namun terlalu terlena dengan banyak waktu luang juga tidak menguntungkan. Waktu yang dimiliki untuk mengerjakan skripsi itu cukup untuknya untuk menyelesaikan. Kadang ada waktu yang berat, kadang ada waktunya untuk longgar. Satu hal yang dia garis bawahi dalam menjalani hari-hari skripsinya: “Don’t wait for good mood,” kata Adit. ”Kalau sedang  bad mood, tenangin diri dulu baru inget lagi apa goal kita.”

Untuk mengatasi itu juga kadang tak mudah. Butuh kemampuan mengatur keinginan dan keengganan diri. Kata disiplin, tidak cukup membantu keluar dari rasa malas. Menetapkan target dan selalu konsisiten hari demi hari adalah kuncinya.

“Aku berkomitmen untuk membuat progress setiap hari walaupun hanya dengan membuat satu kalimat,atau  satu paragraf,” ujar Adit mengingat prosesnya menulis skripsi. Adit menceritakan bahwa proses itu sering kali menguntungkan. Karena kadang ada hari yang sangat bersemangat, dan bisa menuliskan beberapa halaman sekaligus.

Selain progress harian, Adit juga memberikan self-reward untuk memicunya menyelesaikan skripsi. Ia akan punya banyak waktu luang yang dapat ia gunakan untuk apapun yang ia sukai jika ia bisa menyelesaikan sebelum waktu tenggatnya. “Misal rabu depan aku harus menyelesikan Bab 2, aku akan punya deadline pribadi yaitu menyelesaikan di hari minggu. Jika selesai sebelum hari tersebut kan aku punya free time yang panjang,” kata Adit.

Selain motivasi yang dibangun dalam diri, Adit juga mengakui bahwa teman seperjuangan dalam menyelesaikan skripsi merupakan support system yang tangguh. “Teman sangat dibutuhkan. Support banget. Saat ada rasa takut skripsinya takut nggak kelar, banyak yang udah semangatin. Ada teman bisa juga untuk teman diskusi. Melihat progress teman lain juga menjadi pemicu diri untuk lebih semangat lagi.”

Even though she has good English skills and is used to speaking foreign languages, Nadira still has to get used to speaking with English people whose words are sometimes difficult for her to understand. “In the beginning, sometimes I didn’t understand what they were talking about. It’s not clear,” Nadira said when she faced several people whose accents and vocabulary pronunciations weren’t very familiar.
