Indonesian workshops and seminars

3 - 9 June 2023

AWARD-APR (Belmont Forum) and Chung Yuan Christian University (CYCU) have joined forces with local stakeholders in Indonesia to combat infectious diarrhea. Following three years of extensive research, Dr. Wang Yu-Chun, a Co-PI from CYCU, successfully organized a 7-day program from 3rd to 9th June, 2023. The primary objectives are to raise awareness about climate change and the dangers of diarrhea, as well as to promote proactive measures within the community.

CYCU partnered with prominent organizations including Academia Sinica, Universitas Islam Lamongan, Universitas Airlangga, PT. Kencana Maju Bersama, PT. Properindo Enviro Tech, Gugah Nurani Indonesia, and Bumi Buddies to ensure the initiative's success. Through their combined expertise and resources, they conducted an international seminar and workshops in various communities and elementary schools across Surabaya and Lamongan. These sessions provided valuable knowledge, innovative solutions, and engaged participants in insightful discussions.

The workshops specifically targeted the local community and elementary school students, fostering empowerment through practical knowledge and responsible actions. In support of this cause, PT. Kencana Maju Bersama generously donated portable handwash units to elementary schools and communities in Lamongan, underscoring the significance of proper hygiene practices.

This collaboration represents a united front in the fight against infectious diarrhea and a commitment to sustainable development in Indonesia. By forging partnerships and engaging with the community, the initiative aims to create enduring change and enhance the well-being of Indonesian citizens.
