Due to the International Day of Peace, SCORP CIMSA UNAIR held an activity named "COLLABORATION: Combat All Racism and Build Peace to Reach Integration" to remind everyone that peace has the highest role in creating integration and racism is one that much important to build that peace. This year, the United Nations created a theme about ‘End Racism, Build Peace’ for International Day of Peace 2022. That’s why we decided to take the same theme for COLLABORATION. Racism is the belief that groups of humans possess different behavioral traits corresponding to inherited attributes and can be divided based on the superiority of one race, ethnicity, culture, and also religion over another. The other reason why we chose this theme is that racism is a big public problem that never ends today but sadly this problem got underestimated by the public.
So, we made this COLLABORATION to raise awareness about racism which if not prevented and resolved, this problem can make conflict and also war. We held this COLLABORATION with some kind of events, there are air campaign I on September 21 st 2022 about what an international day of Peace is and we held campaign II on September 22 and 2022 about the character of racism. We held our main event with an insightful webinar. We have invited two best speakers from the Global Peace Foundation (Isman Habibillah) about ‘What is International Day of Peace? and How to Build Peace and Prevent War?’ and the other one is from Amnesty Chapter Universitas Airlangga (Jobel Eron Simorangkir) about ‘Unite and Integrate Nation with Fight Racism’.
For our post-event, we will post some educative information and a short video on our Instagram @cimsaunair. In conclusion, we sincerely hope from this event, all participants can start their day by building peace and preventing conflict by eliminating racism and eliminating the sense of superiority and inferiority of a race, ethnicity, culture, religion, or other. As Indonesian, we should know about our national motto of Indonesia, which is ‘BHINEKA TUNGGAL IKA’. With end racism and building peace, we can realize this motto comprehensively. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s combat all racism and build peace to reach integration!
