Hello everyone, long time no see this
little blog :D Last monday morning, I’ve attended Stadium General or First Gathering of Bengkel Aktivis.
Have you known about this event? It is an annual agenda of BEM FBS UNY. The
last week of September, When some UKMs have done Open Recruitment of it’s new
member, BEM held this event to guide the freshmen to become great activist. A
harmonic collaboration, i think :)
Well, Honestly, it must be new for you
to hear “Bengkel Aktivis”. Yeah, we can
see from the word, Bengkel (Repair shop), maybe some of you think, if a
freshman who joining this event must be
in broken condition, so it must be repaired. Hehe. That’s acceptable. But if we
said the freshmen who join it wanna upgrade themselves perhaps it is better word
hehe. Then how about the real meaning of Aktivis (Activist) ? Can a group of
people that do demonstration in front of the president palace be called an
activist? In common sense, activist-term is indentical with demontration in the
road. Anarchic. Always enlarging the problem and perhaps didn’t solve the real problem ittself. Then,
who can be called an activist? I am not sure about it. *i hope when this event
finished, I‘ll get the best word to describe what an activist is and how they
should think and do.
In that day, we were devided into some
small groups contained 5-7 persons (actually the list showed that the member of
each group is tens [belasan] ). Some of them have enrolled to be part of BENGKAK
(Bengkel aktivis), then sent an applicant to the commitee. The pleased news is.....
tererteret.... we’re all accepted ! hehe alhamdulillah. The commitee’s reason
is because of, in here, the potency of being an activist can be from all of the freshmen, is'nt just from a group of persons. The other part of participants is from Maba Bintang in last
OSPEK FBS. Maba Bintang (the star freshmen) is 100 freshmen that selected
because of their activeness in ospek. Whether because of they are chief of
their Gugus, or they did the competition well, or they have something that
somehow made the commitee are thinking that they are have some leadership
skill.
Every weeks in this month, each group of
BENGKAK will be gather to discuss and sharing about leadership, event
management, campus bureaucracy, problem solving, etc. It’s alike tutorial
system of learning.
Well, beside discussing about the
tecnical of the event, in that time, the commite invited the ex president BEM
FBS 2009, mas Anom Adi Nugraha, to attend and give
some advise to the participants. The matter was very interesting and,
personally, he has burnt my spirit to be more usefull for others. :)
Well, I’ll give you the summary of the
oration in the next post InsyaAllah
Bye. SEMANGAT MANIS
*note: you can find bengkak's article on the official web of UNY :)
