The nearly 5-hour talk show, consisting of two main sessions, was attended by young people from various regions in Indonesia. The engaging presentation and insightful speakers maintained high enthusiasm among the audience until the final session.
The first session, moderated by Adinda Putri, featured three speakers: Belinda Az-Zahra, Declan Gladen Gunawan, and Carissa Hendrian, with the main topic “Creating Youth Network for Social Impact.” Belinda explained that making a social impact does not always require large actions; starting with small and consistent steps is key. The question “Why” is important for achieving sustainable social impact, and this must be reinforced with collaboration and interpersonal skills. The power of social media and digitalization can be leveraged to create a broader impact because digitalization makes everything more accessible and connects us with others more efficiently, according to Declan. Carissa added that education is crucial to achieving such impacts. Education can build critical thinking skills and offer different perspectives. Being a good leader involves valuing team members, providing appreciation, and allocating according to their skills and positions, which was the concluding statement of the session
The second session, moderated by Anisa Martiza Putri, featured four speakers: Abigail Zoe Wang, Joshua Waluyo, Valerine Hillary Wijono, and Fryadiva Meshia, with the main topic “Empowering Youth Mindsets.” Fryadiva highlighted that the first step to creating a positive impact is to be aware of existing problems. Additionally, critical thinking skills are essential for youth to face challenges and make the best decisions, according to Joshua. Valerine added that perseverance and a strong willingness to keep learning are crucial parts of the journey towards success. Believing in oneself is key to overcoming challenges and achieving goals. Abigael reminded us that in the digital age, social media can sometimes lead to perfectionism. Therefore, it is important to stay focused on achieving one’s goals and not get caught up in unrealistic standards. The session concluded with a Q&A segment, allowing participants to discuss further with the speakers. The presence and enthusiasm of the participants underscored their strong interest in engaging in positive actions within the community.
This event highlights the crucial role of active youth in shaping a better future for Indonesia. The success of FYP is a testament to the outstanding support from all the speakers, moderators, media partners, and participants involved. We hope that the insights shared during the
