Singaraja- Ganesha Education University students made achievements in the GAYATAMA-2 national oration video competition organized by Surabaya State University. He is I Made Riyan Cahyadi from the Pancasila and Citizenship Education Study Program. In the event with the theme “Youth Pledge as a Momentum for Knitting Diversity”, he succeeded in winning first place, the announcement of which took place on November 1, 2021.
In this national-level event, Riyan, his nickname, managed to beat participants from various universities in Indonesia. The video of the oration he delivered was entitled “Youth Pledge and the Diversity of the Indonesian Nation”. This student who was born on October 7 said that practicing the values of the Youth Pledge is very necessary in everyday life. If not, it could trigger problems in society, such as radicalism, hate speech, and so on. “As an orator, I invite Indonesian youth to start improving and actualizing the values of the youth oath in everyday life amidst the diversity of Indonesian society to be able to create unity among Indonesian society,” he explained Tuesday (2/11/2021).
The achievements he achieved certainly cannot be separated from his hard work and efforts. He admitted that it took about two weeks to prepare for the competition, starting from designing the oration script to making the video. The motivation to take part cannot be separated from the encouragement of supervisor I Putu Windu Mertha Sujana, S.Pd., M.Pd., and all Undiksha leaders always. “This competition certainly gave me a very good impression, apart from being able to develop my talent in the field of oration, I also learned a lot from other participants which I will use as evaluation in the future,” said this fifth-semester student.
Deputy Chancellor for Student Affairs, Alumni and Public Relations Undiksha, Prof. Dr. I Wayan Suastra, M.Pd., was very proud of this achievement and immediately expressed his appreciation. He hopes that this achievement can be a motivation for other students to continue working and excelling. “We at the leadership always invite students to continue to improve their quality and be able to achieve achievements in competitions. “We are very supportive,” he said.(hms)
