I had a series of experiences in Yogyakarta with Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta thatchanged me because I found new knowledge and enthusiasm when metand learned something with new people. I am Tommy Helfiger Sakoikoi, from Stube HEMAT Bengkulu who had the opportunity to have study visit in Yogyakarta. I am grateful because all of this is only God's grace. During a few days in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, I learned with the Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta team to become a creative and independent young man. This was the first time I study in Yogyakarta with Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta.

 

 

 

I learned several things, namely, (1) the importance of protecting the environment from garbage because if garbage is left unmanaged it causes social problems and harms the community. We, as a society, must care about the environment by protecting and caring for nature. One way is to sort non-organic waste and sell it or process it into interesting crafts that can make money(2) a student does not need to ask his parents to pay tuition fees anymore, namely by starting his own business that generates money. This can be achieved if we have creative ideas, and skills and don't give up easily to do it(3) the importance of students writing, because students have to compile scientific work in the form of theses and dissertations. Writing is an eternal work that is never forgotten because writing will continue to exist.

 

 

 

 

One of the other topics is Social Entrepreneurship where I get new things that open my horizons, especially about my hometown, Mentawai. This topic was presented by Trustha Rembaka, S.ThSocial Entrepreneurship trains young people and students to be able to see social problems that occur while at the same time they can find potencies from the problems that will generate profits to overcome the problems. The process of finding innovative solutions to existing social problems must involve the local community. Social Entrepreneurs adopt the mission of creating and preserving the values that exist in the social life of the local community. In the discussion, Trustha helped the participants to map social problems in the area and encouraged them to propose creative and innovative ideas to address social problems that young people are not proud to do so.

 

 

Social Entrepreneurship learning is more complete with study visits to the Nglanggeran Ancient Volcano area and the Nglanggeran Reservoir (Thursday, 15/12/2022). I and two other participants explored the beginnings of the Ancient Volcano area and the Nglanggeran Reservoir. Trustha Rembaka told that this place also started from social problem such as, limited employment opportunities, unemployment, logging, and drought. At that time, Sugeng Handoko, S.T., together with a local youth organization began to move to manage the area as a camping site, planting fruit trees and gradually involving community groups according to their potential. They do some profitable activities covering tour guides, food providers, homestays, chocolate cultivation and processing, goat farming and processing milk, and artevents. The government and the private sector have finally helped the development of the region and promoted it to have the international level.

 

 

 

Thank you Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta for being a place to develop and explore my knowledge and skills as a student. Hopefully, in the future, I will be able to process together and empower myself to be useful for society. ***
