Yogyakarta, 24 September 2025 – The Arabic Student Association (IKMASA) of Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) warmly welcomed members of the French Student Association (HIPER) from Yogyakarta State University (UNY) during their comparative study visit to the Faculty of Cultural Sciences, UGM. The event aimed to strengthen ties, foster collaboration, and build sustainable relationships between student associations.
The Sanjung program was attended by all representatives of IKMASA UGM’s 2025/2026 management board from various departments, accompanied by IKMASA Chairperson Candra Solihin. Meanwhile, the HIPER UNY delegation consisted of around 60 members, led by HIPER Chairperson Moch Cahya Kurnia.
The event began with opening remarks from both association leaders, followed by presentations of each department’s or division’s work programs. Participants then joined breakout discussion sessions in small groups comprising one to two departments from each association. The program concluded with a photo session held in Room 209 of the Soegondo Building.
This Sanjung activity aligns with the 17th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 17): Partnership for the Goals, which emphasizes the importance of collaboration and partnerships in achieving shared objectives. Through this initiative, IKMASA UGM and HIPER UNY not only strengthened inter-organizational relationships but also contributed to building interdisciplinary academic and cultural networks. Such collaborations are expected to inspire new sustainable ideas, enhance student solidarity, and take a meaningful step toward creating a more inclusive and empowering educational environment.
