UMN Community Giving Education Beyond Classes

Kidztainia 3.0 Program at Cihuni 3 Elementary School (Doc. Kidztainia)

Tangerang – Universitas Multimedia Nusantara  is dedicated to reaching beyond the campus to share knowledge and skills with the wider community. Through a range of engaging, tailored outreach programs, our faculty and students actively support local schools and communities, helping them navigate the demands of today’s educational and professional landscapes. From workshops that enhance writing skills to hands-on guidance in fields like accounting and media production, our initiatives inspire individuals to become lifelong learners and proactive citizens. 

One of our flagship efforts, Kidztainia 3.0, is an annual program designed to promote responsible waste management among young students. Now in its third year, Kidztainia has evolved into a platform that empowers children with environmental awareness, focusing on reducing plastic waste. Through interactive activities, students learn to appreciate the importance of protecting their surroundings, making small but impactful changes to ensure a sustainable future. This long-standing initiative complements our ad-hoc programs, each thoughtfully crafted to meet specific community needs. 

In addition to raising awareness on essential social issues, our team is deeply committed to skill-building for young learners. Programs like cyberbullying prevention and smart gadget use workshops equip students with knowledge for safeguarding their mental health and navigating online spaces responsibly. Initiatives such as DEBUT #YourOwnHero, a campaign aimed at preventing sexual violence, and Kampanye Sapa Laut, which educates on environmental conservation, impart critical life skills and knowledge that can have a lasting, positive impact on students. Together, these programs emphasize our holistic approach, combining practical guidance with emotional and social learning to prepare a well-rounded, future-ready generation.

To further enhance students‘ educational experiences, specialized training for teachers is offered, such as Project-Based Learning and Digital Learning Media Design. These professional development sessions equip educators with the tools they need to create engaging, relevant, and effective learning environments. Collaborations with local schools also include organizing Career Days featuring diverse professions, from journalism to game development, allowing students to explore their interests and potential career paths. By exposing students to various fields and skill sets, the goal is to help them envision a future where they can thrive and contribute positively to society. 

In addition to academic initiatives, the importance of mental health and well-being among students is emphasized. Programs like Building Teamwork Through Team Building Games and workshops on Public Speaking not only develop essential life skills but also foster a sense of community and belonging. This focus on psychological well-being, combined with career preparation activities, helps students build resilience and confidence as they navigate their educational journeys. Investing in the holistic development of young learners creates a brighter future for our communities and beyond. Find the full list of our educational activities here.
