Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta with HIPMASTY

(local student organization)

At Omah Limasan, January 29, 2016

Human is known as homo homini socius, social creature that needs interaction with others. No difference with human, an institution consisting of human beings, needs interaction with other institutions. It is what Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta has done by opening relationship with various institutions, student communities and many other association.

Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta as an institution mentoring students studying in Yogyakarta held a socialization to community or students group. One of them was Association of Students from East Sumba in Yogyakarta (Hipmasty) on Friday, January 29, 2016 at Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta’s secretariat. The meeting was started at 17:45 and attended by twelve participants, consisting of seven new participants and five students who were activists of Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta. Trustha Rembaka, S.Th as the coordinator of Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta opened the session by inviting participants to play game 'communi-word'. The rule of the game requires one participant to mention one word and the next participant mention a word which started from the last letter spoken by previous participant. This game requires concentration, quick response and rich vocabulary. During the game, the atmosphere seemed very cheerful and all participants played happily.

The next session was the introduction of Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta. Trustha played a video of Stube-HEMAT and its activities. Furthermore, he explained the institution of Stube-HEMAT and activities carried out during 2015, such as training, local exposure, exploring Sumba. In 2016, Stube-HEMAT offered opportunities for three students to become participants of local exposure and six students for exploring Sumba.

Stube-HEMAT, as a forum for alternative activities for students opened opportunities to learn particular topics which were not learned in their campus. Students were encouraged to identify themselves and to recognize their potency and to be smart to choose activities that support his/her potency.

Rudi, one of the participants studying Sociology at Atmajaya University, Yogyakarta said, "I am as the representative of our organization, thank to Stube for the invitation and feel so impressed by the hospitality. First of all, I really appreciate this invitation because this is the first time for me to attend a meeting like this. Commonly other institutions usualy distinguish their spiritual activities and social ones, while Stube-HEMAT combines both.

Putry studying in Mathematics Education of Sarjana Wiyata University added, "Formerly, I participated in Stube because of invitation from Frans and I asked him many questions about Stube and its activities. Finally, I decided to join the training, Global Education training. I was so happy because during the training I met various speakers, developed myself and shared knowledge to other friends. It encouraged me to join other activities of Stube. Because of Stube-HEMAT, I have chances to meet many capable people."

"So, as long as all of you are in the same city with Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta, please manage your time wisely so you can join many activities and its services. When we interact with people from various backgrounds we will find inspiration and new experiences," explained Sarloce Apang, one of Stube-HEMAT work team closing the meeting. (SAP)

Bread For All

Socialization of Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta

at Christian Students fellowship of LPP

on January 22, 2016

How interesting attending the Christian student fellowship at campus LPP! They opened the fellowship with a fun game. The game tested group’s teamwork and vigilance. The winner was the group which collected more rubber band within ten seconds, while the loser was punished. The punishment was asking one member of the group to act as a mirror and another one to act as a person who dresses up. The dressing-up person showed style when dressing up and the mirror-person should immitated the gestures.

At 6.40 PM the fellowship started. Formerly, 25 person arrived but most of them were men. During the session the participants reached to 36 participants. They joined seriously the worship led by Jonatan, a student of Magister of Theology at Duta Wacana Christian University. He was invited by the committee of PMK to serve fellowship.

The message delivered in that afternoon was about ‘new life in the lord’ taken from 2 Corinthians 4: 1-6; 13-15; and 2 Corinthians 5: 1, which told about a new life begins when we have a firm faith in Jesus. A strong faith will determine your future lives, because faith makes you brave and doubt make us afraid.

The service ended at 8.30 PM and continued by Indah, team of Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta to introduce the institution and its activites. Indah told that Stube HEMAT is an institution which serves students to know the social issues and facilitates them to have experiences with exposure activities in order to plunge into reality and understand the problems happened in society. For those coming from regions outside of Java, Stube-HEMAT offered a chance for going home to do certain activities, such as work orientation, local potency mapping or observe local problem. The program called Local Exposure may be done during the semester break. For those who are interested in having new experience, Stube-HEMAT provides a program to explore Sumba. The participants will share their knowledge for students in Sumba.

In fact, this program was new for the participants and some of them were interested to join the program. The problem they face was their system of their campus. If they fail one subject, they must repeat it next two semesters. It means that they have to wait one year. For those who already have finished theory will be more flexible to join.

Whoever are interested to join the program can contact Stube-HEMAT in facebook address: Humas Stube, or read blog at stubehemat.blogspot.com, or send a message via email: stubehemat@yahoo.com. Hopefully, this program may be a blessing as a bread for all students who need it, who need to be shaped, who need to know the network, experience and the world outside campus.

The fellowship ended and closed with blessings. (SAP)

A Reflection of Plurality

and Intolerance in Yogyakarta

January 11, 2016 at hall of Ministry of Religion

Yogyakarta Province

Wahid Institute noted that Yogya was on the second rank of intolerant region throughout 2014 – 2015. Violence in the name of religion occurred in several places. Of course, this violent incidents were related with the tag-line of Yogya as 'The City of Tolerance'. However, the observers of harmony were not keep silent. They responded and did some actions to maintain and strengthen peace and harmony in Yogyakarta.

On Monday, January 11, 2016, three institutions covering Dian Interfidei, Independent Journalist Alliance (AJI) and Ministry of Religion held a reflection together held at hall of Ministry of Religion. Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta with students and youth groups, community groups, and other organizations in Yogyakarta area attended the meeting. They came and listened the explanation delivered by three speakers.

The first speaker was Tommy Apriando (the coordinator of the Advocacy Division AJI Yogyakarta). The second speaker was Prof. Noorhaidi Hasan, Ph.D (Expert on Islamic Law and Terrorism). The third speaker was Agung Supriyono, SH, the head of Politic & National Unity Yogyakarta.

Tommy Apriando revealed that public media gave big interest in the life and harmony of society so disruption and violence became the main topic. Tommy admitted that editor of a media is always careful in his reports. The published information should avoid hatred and misperceptions among community. Because of this prudence, for some reasons, the reports were not aired or published in public media. It was an answer for a question asking about media reports on religious violence.

Prof. Noorhaidi Hasan told his experience when he studied in Netherlands. There was no discrimination of religion. After he came back to Indonesia, his son has been able to identify neighbors based on their religion easily. Prof. Noorhaidi appreciated a plan to delete religion column in any administrative bureaucracy. The interesting point was a hope towards state law officers. According to him, violence should not happen in the private sphere. Violence action if it is necessary should only be done by the state officer (police) for the sake of public order. The police’s duty is to enforce the law. Freedom of religion is already guaranteed by State Act, the police are entitled to take actions (law enforcement) to secure the situation. If there is violence, it is the police time to act.

Politic & National Unity bureau of Yogyakarta province mapped that 3.7 million residents of Yogyakarta do activities in various fields. Yogyakarta magnetizes people to live here. The increase population will also lead the increase of the risk of crime if it is not be anticipated. The program activities of Politic & National Unity bureau covers advocacy and mediation in religious life in DIY.

The last session, the police officer gave response and admitted that their firmness need to be improved. Police has many cases that should be handled, because police's duty covers all lines of life.

Those are the life of our plurality. We all hope that it will be well-maintained and become the basis for harmony in Yogyakarta and Indonesia in the big scope. However, friendliness and interaction among people will be the effective way to defuse tension and radicalism in interreligious relationship. (YDA).

Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta

Ecumenical Christmas Celebration of

Christian Students Fellowship

at Yogyakarta Institute of Technology

Many reused bottles of 1.5 litre bottle was arranged neatly to form a pyramid. The luminescence of multicolor lights flickered bonded this structure. Apparently, this bottles structure was intended as Christmas tree, the icon of Christmas celebration. What a unique and creative style of students who study environment to reuse bottle litter.

A song ‘Joy to the world’ accompanied Rev. Sarlin Riri and Mr. Paskalis, the advisory of PMK ITY entering the worship room. Pricil and Tina, two students of ITY conducted as the master of ceremony of the event. Both were the activists of Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta.

Mr Paskalis opened his speech with a question: Why God comes into family? Because a family is a ‘house of Lord,’ in which goodness is expected to begin. This youth fellowship is also a family. Such speech was delivered to respond the Christmas theme, ‘Family In Fellowship’, living together as a family of God.

On Saturday, January 9, 2016, ITY campus hall became serene during the worship and more solemn when Rev. Sarlin Riri delivered the words of God. She said that peace needed no complex steps. Making peace was like what Mother Theresa has commanded, ‘go home and love your family!’ The world was lack of love. Wars broke everywhere. Many debates and disputes occured. Food crisis and the raising price of basic commodities happened recently.

Life should be filled with good mind, behavior and all good things. Unfortunately, people even often curse one to another. In this room we were praising the Lord together, but we hate each other outside. When did goodness happen if this situation continued? Living together is not just a matter of fulfilling hunger and daily needs but also how to share. Commonly a new life may be symbolized in new clothes but the utmost important is the new spirit. Living together as God's family is a will to share what we have.

Sharing means mutual enhance life. Philippians 2:1-3 says that we become perfect without any conflict, one heart-like-mind, one love, one soul and one purpose. Hebrews 10: 24-25, reminds us in order to build good things we should not away from a fellowship. The Christian Student Fellowship (PMK) is a partnership of mutual respect and listen each other. We must learn how to live better to invite God to us.

Rev. Riri ended the sermon with a recommendation to the audience to change the 'mindset' or the perception to others and to God that our fellow is our co-workers to serve God.

This Christmas ceremony was continued by Christmas celebration featuring various song and speeches. At least two hundred students attending the ceremony felt blessing through the sermon. Thank you for inviting Stube-HEMAT and we hope that PMK keeps to have positive activity for students. (YDA).
