Synchronizing Head, Heart and Hand
 
 
Answering the longing for having young writer/journalist with multicultural issue, Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta opens a writing class having motto “Synchronizing Head, Heart & Hand”.  Starting on September 14, 2013, this class is held every Saturday each week at “Omah Limasan” Yogyakarta. Some students from UKDW, STTL, STAK MARTURIA and Sanata Dharma follow this class having 12 meetings to accomplish.
 
Guided by Wiliam E. Aipipidely, or called Bang Willy, the participants call his nick name, this class begins to learn the difference between writing article and making report, and between a journalist and a writer. As a practitioner having many experiences in writing books and article, with  daily activity as an activist of Satu Nama Foundation, William E. A himself has been encouraged to share his skills to youth, so there will be a regeneration process. It is expected that it will be very usefull in the future.
 
This class giving participants an understanding how to write in good standard generally, how to write a book, writing public opinion for newspapers, and how to make a relevant writing useful and standing in side of the marginalized one. The participants try to deconstruct their understanding about writing. They also learn how to collect references to support their writing content, steps of writing and startegy to analize headline.
 
This class challenges the participants, since they are asked to produce writings every week. They will receive criticism and comment from other participants and the instructure. The first submition of their writings are not eligible for public consumption as they don’t use standard criteria of writing, like 5 W 1 H method and there is no solution delivered in the content. The next meetings will be more and more challenging for them.
 
 
Bang Willy emphasizes that writing is actually part of our life, however, just several people know the advantages of writing, even the meaning of what they write holistically. Reality shows that students and Indonesian youth assume that writing is just for doing academy task, getting academic score or a requirement to make a final thesis. They haven’t got to such understanding to deliver value for other through writing. However, actually, writing is just a simple activity. It is just a sinchronizing process of head, heart and hand delivered in a paper in which content is responsible and useful for other. It’s simply said that by writing a simple matter, a student can be called that s/he is productive.
 
 
What may happen in the next meeting of this writing class? Wish all participants gain his/her progress. ***
