Future Skills Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Universitas Gadjah Mada (FSF Fisipol UGM) held a Future Skills Festival on Saturday (21/8) to welcome 11,000 FSF lecture participants.
The activity was carried out online as the opening of a series of FSF Fisipol UGM lecture programs. FSF is a lecture program organized by UGM Fisipol and is open to all Indonesians. The courses offered are diverse, ranging from the social entrepreneurship sector, leadership, and environment, to creative industries.
FSF Executive Director, Ageng Sajiwo, said that this August, FSF Fisipol UGM entered Batch 4 with a total of 11,000 enrolled students in 420 cities and 613 universities and took 44 multinational organizations as collaborating partners. FSF Fisipol UGM held a Future Skills Festival to open a series of lecture programs.
“The event is held online and is the first event in Indonesia hosted by a presenter using an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system,” he explained.
FSF activities have the concept of Talks, Entertainment, and Charity. Each concept has a different segment of performers and activities. The Talks were filled by 44 multinational companies who were collaborators of the UGM FSF Fisipol. Entertainment was enlivened by music artist and comedian Yuliono Singsoot, with the theme Stand up ComEDU.
The Charity concept is focused on a social campaign for selling donated t-shirts which will be held on August 8-21, 2021. The sale of t-shirts aims to help convections that have experienced a decline in income since the pandemic. T-shirt buyers can also pay more money to donate.
The donation will be distributed to residents undergoing self-isolation, MSMEs, and children who have lost their parents due to Covid-19.
Ageng said that the FSF Fisipol UGM would continue to be implemented continuously. That way, students and the general public who have not had time to register for Batch 4 Future can still take part in the next batches.

“Through this activity, students and the general public are expected to have a broad view of the future of the younger generation through various issues and aspects. Thus, in the future social problems can be overcome by optimizing all existing resources,” he explained.
