National Education Training
Indonesian Education, Quo Vadis?
Re-initiate the Indonesian Education
Talking about education in this country, we do often face dead end. Many questions come to mind. Why does education in our country seem like doesn’t make any progress, never be better? What’s wrong with education in our country? Is the curriculum, the method, or the resource? Where will the education of our country be directed?
Through National Education Training program, Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta encouraged the Christian college students and the church young activists to put themselves in the society appropriately and to be able to give a real contribution in analyzing the issue and to provide the input of ideal education design. By the theme “Quo Vadis Pendidikan Indonesia? Menggagas Ulang Pendidikan Indonesia ” (Indonesian Education, Quo Vadis? Re-initiate Indonesian Education), Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta tried to open the participants’ insight to be able to understand, to recognize, and to analyze the educational issues exist in Indonesia.
Beginning with the discussion about the mapping of Indonesian educational issues: How far does education form the character of the nation? This discussion which was guided by Darmaningtyas (practitioner in the field of education) went on excitingly. Darmaningtyas explained how national education reformations, both formal and non-formal, are really needed to form the national character and awareness. Many interesting questions colored that session. “The fragility of the nation is not caused by the low of nation’s wits, but the absence of national character and awareness”, explained Darmaningtyas, answered one of the questions of a training participant.
Then, how about the condition of education in Indonesia nowadays? The participants’ curiosity on the topic is answered in the discussion session with Bambang Wisudo (Executive Director of Sekolah Tanpa Batas). In this session, the participants were given a description of how the condition of Indonesian education nowadays is. Through a picture visualization, the participants’ mind is opened about phenomenon happen in Indonesian education nowadays, such us the school looks scaring, imprison, and the students look like uniformed robots who always have to be obedient to teachers’ command. Moreover, Bambang Wisudo said that primary education should be made enjoyable. The basic communication skill, such as listening, reading, speaking, and writing, have to be the main focus in the primary education.
Ki Hajar Dewantara is an educational figure who is not foreign anymore to our ears. His struggle in education and nationalism in his soul always inspires the youth. To learn and to keep digging about Ki Hajar Dewantara’s concept of education is one of our hopes to the participants. With Prof. Dr. Ki Supriyoko, M.Pd, the participants’ insight is opened to the society, means prioritizing the equity of education without leaving or sacrificing the quality.
The series of National Education Training event is more complete with the presence of Wahyaningsih (the master mind of Sanggar Anak Alam). In the Education Design of Sanggar Anak Alam (SALAM) session, Wahyaningsih explained that Sanggar Anak Alam is alternative school for children who love nature. The interesting thing from SALAM education design is the teaching-learning process in SALAM and the curriculum which more focus on food perspective, health, environment, and social culture.
Besides SALAM, formal school whose educational design is unique is SD Mangunan (Manguntapan Elementary School). With Prasena Nawak Santi (DED team) and Kartika Kirana (SD Mangunan organizer), the participants learned about how the education design in SD Manguntapan is. The learning process in SD Manguntapan focuses on sharpening children’s explorative, creative, integral, and communicative skills. The curriculum used is conformed to national curriculum, but there is addition in some typical subjects, they are Musical Education, Faith Communication Table Magazine, Reading Good Books, and Questions Box.
SALAM and SD Mangunan education design inspires the participants to be able to design an ideal education in form of participants’ follow-up training. The follow-up training was held with an action plan to the society with the material they had gotten during the national education training. Some participants were planning to renew Monday school curriculum in their church to be more attractive, some were planning to build a learning studio to assist children around their boarding house in learning and to help anyone interested in writing about national education issues to make a blog. It is simple, but it is a kind of real action to contribute in education.

Exposure Program
Students Exposure from Sumba
in Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta
in Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta
Yogyakarta is well known as a student city. Most Indonesian students, especially those who are coming from out of Java Island, want to continue their study here. Unfortunately, only some of them can make their wish come true. Yogyakarta provides various educational institutions, complete supporting educational facilities, comfortable and friendly study environment and relatively low of living cost, that suggest people to stay.
Stube-HEMAT Sumba gave an opportunity for several college students and youth from Sumba to study in Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta. By carrying them to Yogyakarta, Stube-HEMAT gave a new and attractive experience because they could find and learn some differences between Yogyakarta and their region.
They were Yonatan Kura (23) and Henggu Hama Pati (23), collage students of STIE Kriswina Waingapu, Anggraini Warata (21) and Marselina Loda Ana Amah (22) – both of them are students of STT GKS Lewa, also Antonius Karepi Andung (22) from GKS Kanjonga Bakul and Aprienjes T. Lay (23) from GKS Mauhau.
For 3 weeks, from August 29 to September 18, 2012,they went to some places to learn and improve their skills which will be developed in Sumba, such as learning about freshwater catfish, pokcing manure, and organic vegetable in Sahabat Gloria Foundation. In Sahabat Bambu, facilitated by Indra Setiadharma, they learned about bamboo preservation technique. Furthermore, in Karti Aji, Minggir, Sleman, they learned about making various shapes and functional instruments by plaiting bamboo.
While, in Samas, they learned about agriculture by cultivating sand dune with Mr. Subandi, a pioneer farmer in Samas Sand Dune Agriculture.
Next, for being able to manage local food sources, they were provided with skills to make spongecake and pastry made of MOCAF (cassava flour), sticky rice flour, and banana flour. It’s expected that they would be inspired and could develop other local food sources that abundantly provided in Sumba.
As the complement of this study tour in Yogyakarta, they visited some tourism areas such as Malioboro, Borobudur Temple, Gembira Loka Zoo, studying community Sanggar Anak Alam, and a new experience, travelling by train to Solo.
The program has a very clear goal, that is, giving youth opportunity to learn and experience to achieve some enlightenment and bringing them to be open-minded. Moreover, the activity can improve their braveness to take chance for Sumba development, like Antonius, one of the participants said “Before I followed Stube, especially this program, I didn’t know what I have to do and after I joined, I know many possibilities that I can do, such as making organic manure for my land, making some handy-crafts, construction and furniture from bamboo and I can share what I’ve got to my friends and society”.

Conflict Management Training
Let’s Be In Action with Mediation!
Wisma PGK Shanti Dharma Yogyakarta, August 10 - 12, 2012
Indonesia is a country with a large variety of culture, religion, and ethnic. This variety often brings the society into conflicts, either cultural or religion conflict. Therefore, people who are moved to be peace ambassador in their daily life are very needed. Being a peace ambassador is the longing of Conflict Management Training participants, Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta.
Located on Wisma PGK Shanti Dharma Yogyakarta, this training was held on August 10-12, 2012. The training participants were Christian students from various regions who are finishing their study in Yogyakarta. The variety of ethnics and cultures among the participants increased the shine and spirit of every training session. By the theme “Let’s be in Action with Mediation!” Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta was supplying the participants to be peace agents and to make a Peace Building Community. It is the expectation of Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta in the arrangement of the training that the participants can be smart mediators when they involve in a conflict solution and can analyze the potential of conflict which might happen.
Endah Setyowati from Pusat Studi Pengembangan Perdamaian (PSPP), an institution concerns on peace development, Duta Wacana Christian University, started that training by explaining how the occurrence process of conflict is. She opened the participants’ insight by saying that conflict brings not only negative but also positive impact in our life. In this session, the participants were also invited to do a test to know about someone’s inclination when a conflict happens, whether she or he is inclined to escape, to face, to give up, or to solve it.
The participants’ curiosity about how to solve a conflict was answered by the attendance of Dra. Krisni Noor Pratianti, M.Hum from PSSP UKDW. A conflict can be solved with coercion, mediation, arbitration, and negotiation. Coercion is a process of solving conflict when there are two sides in conflict but one side decides the solution. When two sides in conflict and there is the third side who facilitates the process of that conflict solution, it is called mediation. Arbitration is a process of solving conflict when two sides who are in conflict have the same strength so they seek the third side. This third side is the side who makes and decides the solution because both first and second side have handed the solution over this third side. Meanwhile, when two sides in conflict have the same position are discussing the same problem to find the choices of the solution, it is called negotiation.
She also explained some examples of conflict solution cases, such as the case in Ambon after conflict in 2001. “UKDW (Duta Wacana Christian Univerity) was invited by UNICEF to help mediating that conflict. The education curriculum is one of the causes of the conflict. The curriculum is made based on the compartmentalizing of religion”, explained Dra. Krisni Noor Patrianti, M.Hum, answered the question of a training participant.
The climax of Conflict Management Training series event is on the last session, Spirituality of Peace. In that session, Pdt. Mathieda Yeanne Tadu, S.Si (a priest), invited the participants to go into a silent moment to reflect what they had gotten from that training and what will they do in their life as a peace agent. From that session, the participants realized that being a peace ambassador is not an easy thing, being a peace agent is not a secondary duty but a life’s work.

Located on Wisma Shanti Dharma Yogyakarta, this training was held on June 1-3, 2012. With the theme: Bamboo, The Hidden Treasure, Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta gave participants awareness of the great bamboo’s potency.
The participants’ mind was opened by learning how the exploration of bamboo’s potencycy in Indonesia, the processing technology, and the making process of durable bamboo. They also got knowledge how to run a bamboo enterprise. Starting with the explanation about bamboo and its potencycy by Indra Setiadharma from “Sahabat Bambu” enterprise, the participants began to know many t bamboo varieties. Indra tried to open the participants’ insight about the various species of bamboo in Indonesia and other countries.
That learning process is more complete by inviting participants to go down to the field. On the second day of the training, the participants experienced an exposure to some places such as “Bambu Nusa Verde”, a bamboo cultivator in Pakem, Sleman, “Sahabat Bambu” in Kalasan, Sleman, “Kerajinan Bambu Karti Aji” in Toglengan, Sleman, and “Karya Manunggal”, a bamboo handicraft producer in Cebongan, Sleman. The participants were divided into two groups. The first group did the exposure to “Sahabat Bambu” and “Karya Manunggal”. The second group did the exposure to “Bambu Nusa Verde” and “Karti Aji”.
In Sahabat Bambu, the participants were learning how to make bamboo durable. Guided by Indra Setiadharma, they practiced one step to make bamboo durable by making holes in bamboo before being filled with preservation substances.
Learning to run a bamboo business in “Karya Manunggal” inspired the participants to have an independent enterprise in bamboo industry sector. “Karya Manunggal” focuses its business in bamboo furniture. Sumarno, the owner of “Karya Manunggal” explained that his products have reached outside Java. Bamboo sort commonly used in the making of furniture is Apus (Gigantochloa apus), Petung (Dendrocalamus asper), Tutul (Bambusa vulgaris) and Wulung (Gigantochloa atroviolecea) bamboo.
The wish to have an independent enterprise in bamboo industry field is also experienced by the training participants after having exposure to “Karti Aji”. “Karti Aji” is a well-known bamboo industry center in Yogyakarta started by a group of women who got training from Industrial Service DIY in 1986. Previously they are plaiting besek, a small container made of bamboo. After the training, this group began a bamboo industry group which further grew to be a bamboo industry center.

In this session, he explained how bamboo is very useful for architectural designs with local and environmentally friendly based construction. Many interesting questions from the participants colored this session. “Bamboo is a local timber which is limited by prestige. Many people have a wrong perception about bamboo. Bamboo house has an image as an unhealthy and poor house. Basically, architecture of a bamboo house has a high taste of art. Our challenge is how to change the image of bamboo,” explained Ir. Eko Prawoto, M.Arch when he was answering the participant question.
After three days learning process about bamboo, the participants got enough knowledge about bamboo. “After knowing about bamboo, what we have to do?”. A question from Trustha Rembaka (Coordinator of Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta) colored the last session of the Bamboo Training Program. In the Focus Group Discussion, the participants were invited to discuss about how the follow-up of the training that they want to do. Some participants wanted to write about bamboo and its benefits, some others wanted to learn about how to plant bamboo. There were also some participants who wanted to learn about how the technique of making a handicraft in “Karti Aji”. Participants’ spirit to learn about bamboo is very great. Keep learning and digging bamboo’s potency became the follow-up of the participants in this Bamboo Training Program. ***
