This time, the Community Services webinar brought the theme “Volunteers, Solidarity and Mutual Cooperation in Handling Covid-19 Pandemic”. This webinar discusses seriously but casually about various perspectives on handling the covid-19 pandemic that took place in Indonesia. Starting from the theoretical point of view through the views of social experts, the point of view of humanitarian volunteers who go directly to the community and digital volunteers who move people to help those who are affected by this pandemic.
This webinar was held for 2 hours, with the speakers; Dr. Lestari Nurhajati – LSPR lecturer and volunteer in covid-19 pandemic, Endri Kurniawati – Tempo Journalist, and Ms. Santi Indra Astuti, S. Sos., M.Sc. – JAPELIDI member, MAFINDO activist and UNISBA lecturer. The event was hosted by Xenia Angelica Wijayanto, LSPR lecturer. The participants who went directly to the community in handling the pandemic have the experience and comprehensive understanding of the participants. Their passion and enthusiasm were transmitted to the participants who came from various backgrounds such as students, lecturers, activists and other institutions outside LSPR.
The message carried in this webinar is that volunteerism is contagious. Let us spread the good things, empathy, strength, empowerment, and positive attitude starting from our closest environment or from the things that concern us. Now is not the time for us to be silent. Now is the time for us to be empowered and be the answer to the problems around us.
