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)
