February 7: ISFIT Day 3!

Check in and check out! This is what we usually do before we begin our day and after we finish our activities.

After we did “check-in”, we’re starting to play “moving chair” with some descriptions. Ah, we also had a yoga session before. Dylan leads us to do this yoga :) Happy morning.
We have some movements with explanation for instance: people from Asia, or people from Europe, if we are included with the criteria, we have to move.

Until this happened. How funny the game is. J

Next questions are getting difficult. For instance: “Do the woman have a right to do abortion, or do you agree with democracy or dictator, is it democracy is the best system for us, how about the freedom of speech, can it be limited?, can media be objective” and so on.

Then, we had lunch. In the middle of lunch, some of our friends were dancing. How cool they are. :) We continue our discussion. Still related to corruption and governance, we have to make an example of situation, the cause of corruption, who did it, what’s the effects, what’s the consequences and implications for the community. 


We (my group: Julia, Elchin, Daniel, Ali) choose one situation in education: examinations in universities, students give bribes to tutors to pass the exams. The causes are low salaries and greed. It has some effects, one of them is graduation of unqualified students. Some consequences: economy suffers, a lot of unqualified degree holders, education system looses trust and degradation of quality of education.  

Then, we’ll have dinner. For me, the dinner time in Norway is very fast. Usually, I have dinner at 7 or 8 pm, but in Norway we have dinner at 4 or 5 pm. Very early. But I like it :) I love eating especially ISFIT menu for dinner. So delicious :)

Plenary Session: Why Is The World Corrupt?
Tina Soreide opened this session. She started with the corruption issue in Norway. I know that Norway CPI in 2014 is very good, got the best 5th rank, it means Norway is a country which has low level at corruption. It must be very good to learn from this beautiful country, I said in my heart. Tina continued her explanation, there were authorities, so there would always be corruption related issues, including Norway. She made an example by mentioning Telenor case.

Extortive corruption: the point is: the income increases, society develops for instance bribe decreases the development. 
Collusive corruption: problems in all categories of countries. –categories corruption based on experts

“Collusive corruption is a problem everywhere. Its just harder to spot than small scale corruption”

Peter Eigen, one of the most central anti-corruption fighters in the world will be our speaker. He co-founded Transparency International which is considered the world's leading anti-corruption NGO, in 1993 in Berlin.

Remembering Millenium Development Goals, starts January 2015 (corruption is focus area). We own our future. We have to realize the effects of corruption: affects women, children, everything. 
  
We can create the world which is clean from corruption,  challenge all societies, we have to take action seriously. All of us needs good government, because they’re delegation of authorities who run the country life. We need government. But, it’s impossible to depend all thing on government, we can reduce this problem, all societies has to participate. Corruption can be defeated.

Peter Eigen agrees that "young people are the great hope" Let's prove it! Peter Eigen is also talking about how he had to leave The World Bank because he wanted to fight corruption. Inspiring talk from Peter Eigen. Allowing the businesses to bribe in other countries are a huge reason of corruption.

We also have to pay attention with whistleblower. Whistleblowers have a hard time in revealing corrupt acts. No legislation gives them protection.  

Peter Eigen also shared  his experiences in Asia, America, Australia.
Thanks for the inspiring session Sir. I learn a lot from him.

ISFIT Preparation

Semenjak pengumuman dr ISFIT Norway awal November lalu (saya ingat sekali tepatnya tanggal 4 November, saya sungguh hampir lupa saya pernah apply, saat itu saya sedang menginap di rumah teman saya Audrey sehabis bekerja hingga larut malam, saya sungguh tidak membayangkan ini terjadi tapi Tuhan membukakan jalan, semoga bisa mengerjakan dengan baik:D). Sebelumnya flashback sedikit tentang proses saya mendaftar. Saya mengetahui ISFIT dari beberapa teman di UI dan sahabat saya Septian yang menjadi delegasi ISFIT tahun 2013. Saat itu, saya melihat topik-topiknya, membaca websitenya di isfit.org. Sangat menarik. Topiknya berada di antara isu-isu sosial, politik, hukum, dan topik global lainnya. Cara seleksi untuk mengikuti ISFIT ini adalah dengan mengirim 2 esai (sebetulnya 3, tapi esai ketiga ini tidak wajib, dan itu jika ingin mendapat travel support, karena ISFIT hanya menanggung akomodasi dan transportasi selama disana, tiket pulang pergi dari negara tidak ditanggung). Karena samb

Kelas Inspirasi Bojonegoro, 2 Mei 2016

Daerah, bagian yang tidak terpisahkan dalam pembangunan di Indonesia. Sarat dengan problema. Tidak jarang konflik timbul antara pusat dan daerah. Termasuk masalah pembangunan bidang-bidang fundamental salah satunya pendidikan. Pasalnya, belum banyak yang menyadari bahwa sedemikian pentingnya pendidikan yang bertujuan untuk memanusiakan manusia. Bukan hanya kognitif semata, tapi afeksi, moral dan pendidikan dalam pelajaran hidup lainnya. Hati ini yang menggerakkan untuk melangkahkan kaki menuju Bojonegoro, di hari pembuka di bulan Mei yang lalu. Tiba di Surabaya pk 07.00 setelah pagi hari saya mengambil flight pagi dari Soekarno-Hatta, saya naik bus Damri dari bandara Juanda menuju Bungur, sampai di Bungur pk 8.15. Di Bungur, saya mengambil bus jurusan Bojonegoro. Perjalanan hari itu sangat menyenangkan, tidak terlalu ramai, naik bus di daerah yang cukup asing buat saya, tapi saya sungguh sangat menikmatinya. Menyenangkan sekali naik bus antar kota di Jawa Timur. Saya tiba di termi
