Academic Mobility Training Structure

  • Basic academic mobility training runs from August 4–8, 2025 and is mandatory for all mobility students.
  • Activities are conducted synchronously (Zoom/YouTube) and asynchronously via the LMS (Cidia).
  • The training is equivalent to 2 credits with ~90 learning hours.
  • Students must attend all sessions, submit daily assignments by 9:00 pm WIB, and participate in mini-project development.
  • Attendance, evidence screenshots, and assignment collection must be done as per instructions.

Best Practices in Entrepreneurship (Speaker: Felicia Nadya Santoso)

  • Real-world experience in sales, marketing, and business transformation is vital for career and personal growth.
  • Rebranding requires understanding the target market, embracing customer feedback, and adapting company culture.
  • Direct customer interviews and unbiased feedback are key for product development.
  • Leading by example, staying humble, and leaving a positive impact are essential leadership traits.
  • Building a business with friends requires clear agreements and roles; success relies on effort surpassing one’s share.
  • Overcoming “prestige” and embarrassment is necessary; growth happens outside comfort zones.

Best Practices in Teaching Assistance & Literacy (Speaker: Ahmad Irfandi)

  • Kampung Lali Gadget addresses child gadget addiction using traditional games and community engagement.
  • Literacy and cultural development are fostered through play, accessible books, and creative activities.
  • Interventions should prioritize child enjoyment (play first, literacy follows), storytelling, and hands-on tasks.
  • When working in community settings, use local language, set realistic goals, and focus on collaboration.
  • Mentoring should be realistic, immersive, and sensitive to local context and children’s needs.
