Again, The Students of UIN Antasari Swept Up an Achievement
The students of UIN Antasari Banjarmasin were selected to participate in the Lombok Youth Camp (LYC) for Peace Leaders 2018 that was held in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, along with 200 other participants from all Islamic Higher Education Institutions throughout Indonesia. The selection was very strict considering that besides submitting their files , they also had to write essays about the peace and follow-up activities to be conducted after LYC activities. These 200 LYC 2018’s participants were selected from around a total of more than 2,000 registrants. In the discussion activities, they were grouped into 10 study groups. The initial plan of this activity was held on December 17-21, 2017, but due to the unfeasible natural conditions, the activities were postponed to January 21-25, 2018. The LYC 2018 program is expected to strengthen the insight of Indonesian, Islamic, values of peace and develop various real efforts to prevent violence, radicalism, and extremism among the youth.
