Tug-of-War Competition at the 56th BUDINATA Undiknas: Strengthening Teamwork with the Spirit of Gender Equality
Denpasar, February 28, 2025 – As part of the 56th Anniversary Month (BUDINATA) celebrations of Universitas Pendidikan Nasional (Undiknas), a Tug-of-War Competition was held, involving various work units within Undiknas. This competition was not only a test of physical strength but also an opportunity to foster teamwork and collaboration in a spirited and friendly atmosphere.
What set this tug-of-war apart was its unique concept emphasizing gender equality, requiring each team to consist of three men and two women. This format reflects the spirit of inclusivity and balance in teamwork, aligning with Undiknas’ vision of supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in gender equality and social inclusion.
The competition took place in front of Building A at Universitas Pendidikan Nasional, right after the Undiknas Fun Run 2025. Each team competed with their best strategies and coordination to secure victory.
After an intense and enthusiastic battle, three teams emerged as the winners:
1st Place: Yayasan Perdiknas Team
2nd Place: HERO Unit (Human Resources and Finance) Undiknas Team
3rd Place: Faculty of Law (FH) Undiknas Team
The competition was filled with excitement, with cheers of support echoing from the entire academic community. Each team demonstrated outstanding teamwork, proving that the key to tug-of-war success lies not only in physical strength but also in synergy and cooperation. This competition was more than just a contest—it became a symbol of teamwork, sportsmanship, and unity within both academic and professional environments. By incorporating gender equality into the team structure, the event serves as an inspiration that balanced collaboration between men and women can create incredible strength in various aspects of life.
The 56th BUDINATA Undiknas continues to present activities that are not only lively but also hold educational and social values. The spirit of togetherness and solidarity fostered in this competition is expected to extend into all aspects of academic life at Undiknas, from the workplace to building a more inclusive future.
