A
training on Multicultural, and Inter-religious Dialogue organized by
Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta at Wisma Panti Semedi, Klaten on Friday to Sunday, April

reality. Some participants, mostly students of STPMD "APMD" responded
positively to this by establishing a cooperation in diverse society by ethnics,
religions and cultures. They initiated a community called Student Community for
Environmental Concern. Their real action is shown in cooperation with KOMPAG,
Youth Community of Gendeng (a local youth community) and residents of RW 20
Gendeng, manifested in social service, by cleaning the surrounding area.
The
social action was held on Sunday, May 8, 2016 at RW 20 Gendeng, Baciro. It
began at 06.00-09.20 A.M. The participants cleaned Timoho roadside, mosque ‘Anwar
Rashid’ and a clogged ditch in Gendeng. The goal of this community is
actualizing concern of environment and having relation with society at Gendeng
village. This first event was attended by thirty five participants including
students, local youth and local residents.
Following
the event, Youth Community of Gendeng and village officials invited this
community to attend the 13th anniversary of the Youth Community of Gendeng
(KOMPAG) on Sunday, May 15, 2016. In that occasion, the local officer gave
positive response to the group that has worked together with local residents and he
also asked them to stay away from drugs and not to be curious about it. Next,
the chairman of RW Gendeng thanked this student community and hoped that the
cooperation will continue in the future. There are also some awards in several
categories: youth creativity category was achieved by Youth Community of
Gendeng, smart kids category was achieved by children of Gendeng village, and

hatred, but united in a cooperation that maintain the unity of Indonesia
instead. To all youth in Indonesia, keep your creativity for the nation! (CAR).
