Welcome to this very special humanitarian-based webinar hosted by Universitas Gadjah Mada!  Their program SONJO (Sambatan Jogja) is an inspiring humanitarian movement that has operated since 24 March 2020 and is based in a WhatsApp group (WAG).

Today, SONJO consists of 20 internal WAGs and 4 WAGs with other communities in West Java, Jakarta, and Central Java. The SONJO aims to help people at risk and vulnerable people from the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 in the Province of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. SONJO works in three sectors: health, economy, and education. UGM has developed 21 programs consisting of 6 programs in the economy and 14 programs in health. 

In this webinar, the first section will consist of a discussion regarding the health sector, presented by Professor Rimawan Pradiptyo and the second section will be a discussion on the economic sector with Professor Gumilang Aryo Sahadewo.  You won’t want to miss this motivational discussion, as it may not only stimulate student solution development, but may also inspire schools to create their own humanitarian movements!

Please Note: This webinar is pre-recorded and will be released at the listed time and date.
