In today’s increasingly complex and interconnected world, energy and environmental challenges have become global issues that cannot be solved with a single approach. This phenomenon requires a broader, interdisciplinary approach. While our education and academic practices often stick to the boundaries of established disciplines, it is increasingly clear that solutions to these problems require collaboration across fields. Many academics now recognize that the integration of ideas from different disciplines is key to tackling these complex challenges more effectively. They realize that no single discipline can provide all the necessary answers.

In this context, this roundtable panel aimed to observe and explore the value of interdisciplinary approaches. Panelists discussed how perspectives from different disciplines can be used synergistically to analyze and address energy and environmental challenges. The ultimate goal is to create effective strategies to observe and resolve these issues, with the hope of building a sustainable future for generations to come. By combining knowledge and methodologies from different fields, it is hoped that this interdisciplinary approach will pave the way for more holistic and integrated innovative solutions. This activity was held on July 9th, 2024 at 9.00 am – 10.30

Organized by the Department of Anthropology, Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta, Indonesia on Monday, July 8, 2024 at Soegondo Building room 709, Faculty of Humanities, Gadjah Mada University, this one-day workshop was conceived to stimulate dialogue between different geographical, political, and economic views on migration in the Global South, while exploring opportunities to enhance scholarly exchange among participants. The event was able to provide a platform to discuss diverse approaches to migration, including knowledge creation, dynamics, methods, ethics, and case studies from different regions in the Global South. The aim of the Workshop was also to provide participants with the necessary skills to disseminate their ideas more widely and engage in contemporary debates on migration in the South.

Opening remarks were delivered by Mr. Kamran Asdar Ali as Former President of AAS and Mimi Savitri, M.A., Ph.D. as Vice Dean for Research, Community Service, Cooperation and Alumni of the Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Universitas Gadjah Mada. Then the participants and mentors introduced themselves one by one before presenting the work of their respective groups. The next agenda was Rethinking Interconnectivity which was guided by Dr. Realisa D. Massardi/Dr. Furrukh Khan/Dr: Jerónimo Delgado-Caicedo. This was followed by breakaway sessions discussing interconnectivity in the global south and how the concept relates to their research. Participants then presented again, this time on their findings. At the end of the program, there was a discussion to answer any unanswered questions.

Five UGM students have pioneered the development of a platform based on Historical Tourism App that offers historical tour packages with 4 destinations namely Yogyakarta, Magelang, Ambarawa, and Semarang consisting of 9 tour packages and 66 sites, called HISTARA which stands for Histori Nusantara. They are Aditya Firdaus (Tourism, Faculty of Arts) with members Franzseka Aurellia Oenang (Tourism, Faculty of Arts), Elyzabeth C. F. Roring (Tourism, Faculty of Arts), Irkam Asroni (Archaeology, Faculty of Arts), and Fanny Elizabeth Panjaitan (Information Engineering, Engineering). Aditya explained that the development of Hisatara started from the lack of interest of generation z in historical tourism, as seen from the news that often discusses the lack of interest in visiting historical tourist attractions. Therefore, they are trying to provide services like this in order to attract generation z.

Fanny added that HISTARA is designed to be attractive and modern, designed to fit the pockets of students, “Services and services can be fully accessed through the website www.histaratour.com and will also be available on google play store”, she said. Franzeska also added, “The HISTARA application also supports the realization of the values of sustainable development goals, namely SDGs No. 4 Quality Education, SDGs No. 9 Infrastructure, Industry and Innovation, and SDGs No. 17 Partnerships to Achieve Goals. HISTARA offers tour packages at student-friendly prices with a wide selection of exciting historical tour packages.

On Wednesday, June 26, 2024, the auditorium of Faculty of Cultural Sciences UGM witnessed an enthusiastic 9:30-11:00 event. The event began by watching an introductory video about Universitas Gadjah Mada and the Faculty of Humanities, followed by an interactive quiz about the video content. Students and teachers enthusiastically participated in this quiz, with the winners getting souvenirs as awards.

This was followed by a presentation by the Public Relations & Cooperation Unit using a PowerPoint presentation that explained in depth about the campus and faculty. A question and answer session was then held, where students asked various questions related to the excellent programs offered, the possibility of admission through organizational achievement pathways, requirements for automatic admission for high schools with parallel number one rankings, plans for new study programs, and the possibility of UKT increases.

The event was also colored by the handover of souvenirs from each school to FIB UGM as an expression of gratitude and support. The excitement of the event reached its peak with a group photo session as a closing that captured precious moments for all participants. This event is not only a forum for information and interaction, but also strengthens the relationship between FIB UGM with the education community and society at large.
