At the end of October, Kummara with Bank Indonesia Maluku Utara organized a series of programs named “GenBI Leadership Practice 2021”.
This program was attended by students fellowship awardee of GenBI by Bank Indonesia Maluku Utara, as their effort to improve the students’ leadership skills. Held for a week, starting from 24-31 October 2021, this program is divided into three sessions. Those are Leadership Lab, Leadership Path, and Leadership Camp.
The first session was Leadership Lab, where participants joined Online Facilitated Game-Based Learning via Zoom. In this session, participants were invited to play Saudagar board game. This board game was specially designed by Kummara to help explain the concept of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) to the public.
Next is the second session named Leadership Path, where participants are divided into three WhatsApp groups for their asynchronous session. Devided based on their campus: IAIN Maluku Utara, Universitas Khairun and Universitas Muhammadiyah Maluku Utara, each group must accomplish various missions given by Kummara team.
“For 6 days, all participants will be given a different mission every day. Of course, this will demand them to be cohesive and actively discuss with each other.” Aughya Shandriasti, the lead facilitator for the asynchronous session, explained.
Last, there was Leadership Camp, which is the peak of GenBI Leadership Practice 2021. In this session, we asked participants to share their experiences during the event. “For a week, we learned about how to cooperate and communicate with each group member,” said Dinda Rahmawati, representing IAIN Maluku Utara in this sharing session.
“We also learned about responsibility and time management, of course. How to manage so all the missions can be done before the deadline,” she added.
