New Cabinet New Event, UNJ English Literature Study Programme Executive Council Having A Fresh Start For Their New Year

After creating a new team for the council, the English Literature Study Programme Executive Council started to create some events. Their first event for this year is held after the celebration of Idul Fitri or specifically on 28th May 2022. With some Islamic atmosphere after the following celebration of Idul Fitri, the English Literature Study Programme Executive Council created an online seminar called ENTHRAL (Enhance The Spiritual Life) with a theme: “Global Islamophobia: Understanding its Roots, Challenging its Impact”.

With some new and fresh ideas, the chief executive for this event, Alfredo Junior Fatah gave some ideas that this event needs to have some social impact “a new start, a new idea. I think it’ll be great if we do the things we have never done before. Although the seminar has already been done for

several years, some additions to this event will be great”. The Committee agrees that a charity is the best option for this event. “Charity will always be the best choice for this kind of Event. With

charity it’s official that the English Literature Study Programme Executive Council not only focuses on the internal needs, but we have a contribution for other people outside the university” Alfredo said when asked why they finally decided to do charity.

The charity event was held at Indonesia Orphanage Rawamangun on 24th May 2022. The total donation for this event is Rp.1.884.000,00. Not just a donation event, the committee held an event to have fun with the orphan, and brought some gifts while playing games with them. The event was a great success and the chief executive for this event already has a plan for this event next year.

“Look at all the children that smiled while we held this event, it’s beautiful. This was a huge success for us and I think it’ll be great if we do this again next year”, Alfredo said when asked about this event after the event was held.

4 days later the main event was held at ZOOM Cloud Meeting. The fun fact for this event is that

this seminar is not only for UNJ students but for all the students in Indonesia. The reason why it got so many attention is because the topic of this seminar is relatable with the Islam conditions right now. “Global Islamophobia: Understanding its Roots, Challenging its Impact is the topic that we chose. The reason why we choose this topic is because there’s too many platforms for talk or made a statement. We can say social media is one of the main platform to “talk” and recently there is too many negative talk about Islam in the social media, there’s even some of the Muslim people talk something bad about their own religion. This has to be stopped, so we held this event to give knowledge about the things that are happening. Spreading awareness to people is the thing that we can do, so we took our chance” said Alfredo after being asked about the topic of this event

After the event, there’s many positive responses from the audience. This event is a huge success for the committee and they are already planning to do this event next year with a more fresh concept. “It’s nice to feel this moment, helping people and giving more knowledge to people was a nice way to live. Let’s wait until next year for the next ENTHRAL, we’re gonna have more event to held” Alfredo said after the whole event was held.
