Over one hundred student activists consisted in BEM of Indonesia (SI) starting on 23rd October to 28th October 2008 will hold the Indonesian Students Conference (KMI). The conference took “From Students for Indonesia: Solution and Contribution for the Nobility of Indonesia†as its theme. The conference was opened by a Talk show that presented the former Constitution Court (MK) of Indonesia Jimly Ashidiqie and the head of Anti-Corruption Study Center (Pukat) UGM Zainal Arifin Mochtar.
The coordinator of BEM SI, Budiyanto in the midst of the Talk show at the meeting room of University Club (UC) UGM on Thursday (23/10) expected that this annual event can generate alternative solution to various problems in Indonesia. He also added that in the conference there’s an idea of Deklarasi Pemuda (Young Generation Declaration).
There will be three main topics to be discussed in this conference, which are the solution for Indonesia’s problems, social leadership and internal issues of BEM. This agenda is based on the 100 years of national resurrection momentum, 10 years of reformation and 80 years of sumpah pemuda (Young Generation Vow).
According to the plan, the Indonesian Students Conference will be closed in 28th October and at the end of the event the deklarasi pemuda will be read in Bundaran UGM.
