Building a Generation of Resilient Leaders: Through Leadership Week at the Universitas Pendidikan Nasional
Denpasar – Universitas Pendidikan Nasional (Undiknas) is taking proactive steps in forming a young generation who not only excels academically but also has a high leadership spirit. To realize this goal, Undiknas is holding a series of Leadership Week activities starting on November 16, 2023.
Through the theme “Building Character and Sharpening the Critical Reasoning of Quality Students (Character, Intellectual, Innovative, and Firm),” Leadership Week 2023 is designed to provide intensive training on leadership and management of student organizations. This activity was attended by Undiknas students and was designed to equip them with leadership skills needed in the real world.
Leadership Week is held with various learning methods, including Forum Group Discussion (FGD), seminars, Team Building, and various other activities. Participants are invited to actively participate in developing their insights through group discussions and interactive activities.
The official opening of Leadership Week was carried out by Dr. Ni Wayan Widhiastini, S.Sos., M.Si, as Deputy Chancellor for Academic Development at the Dwi Tunggal Auditorium Undiknas Denpasar. On the first day of this activity three main speakers were competent in their respective fields, namely Dr. Ni Wayan Widhiastini, I Gusti Ngurah Oka Ariwangsa, and Ni Gusti Agung Ayu Mas Wulandari.
In implementation, Leadership Week 2023 is divided into two main categories: Room Leadership which will take place on 16, 18, and 19 November 2023, and Field Leadership which will take place from 1 to 3 December 2023.
The hope is that through Leadership Week, participants can explore and develop the leadership potential that exists within them. This is considered a crucial first step for students who will later be involved in the BEM & DPM organizations as well as other organizations within Undiknas. It is hoped that this well-trained generation can become the successor to strong leadership and make positive contributions both to Undiknas and society in general.
