YOGYAKARTA – The Faculty of Social Sciences and
Humanities (FISHUM) at UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta successfully organized a
workshop and team-building event titled "Meaningful Resilience: Empowering
Skills in the Digital Era." The event, aimed at enhancing the sense of
togetherness within the FISHUM extended family while strengthening resilience
in the digital age, was held on Saturday, November 8, 2025.
A total of 59 participants, comprising lecturers,
educational staff (tendik), and employees within FISHUM, attended the
event. The agenda took place in two locations, commencing with a team-building
session and jeep trip at the Glagah Beach Lagoon, Kulonprogo, followed by a
workshop session at Joglo Resodinomo, Sleman.
The workshop was opened with remarks by the Dean of FISHUM,
Prof. Dr. Erika Setyanti Kusumaputri, S.Psi., M.Si. In her address, she
emphasized the importance of synergy among all elements of the faculty.
"Hopefully, this activity will strengthen FISHUM's
togetherness, as essentially, FISHUM is one big family," stated Prof.
Erika.
The core session featured a presentation by the Vice Dean
for General Administration, Planning, and Finance, Dr. Astri Hanjarwati,
S.Sos., M.A., moderated by Ummu Samhah Mufarrihah, M.A.
In her presentation, Dr. Astri highlighted the challenges of
adaptation amidst the digital transformation of the campus. She noted that
lecturers and staff face various pressures, including professional and
spiritual demands, digital stress, and work-life imbalance. Therefore,
"Meaningful Resilience" becomes crucial. In this context, resilience
is defined not merely as the ability to bounce back from pressure, but as the
capacity to grow through values, reflection, and contribution.
One of the participants, Katrin Purnomo Sari, S.Psi., an
academic staff member of the Psychology Study Program, expressed that the
activity was highly meaningful in motivating participants to be more
enthusiastic and resilient in facing work challenges. She highlighted the
atmosphere of togetherness where all faculty elements united.
"It was exciting, harmonious, and enjoyable. Lecturers,
staff, and leadership all mingled together," she said.
The warm event concluded in the afternoon. It is hoped that
this activity will not only tighten cohesion but also foster a work climate
that is more collaborative, empathetic, and resilient in facing the digital
era, as FISHUM moves forward with greater maturity after more than two decades
of existence.
