FKIP News — The Interfaith G20 Forum (IF20) and the International Partnership on Religion and Sustainable Development (PaRD) hosted the 2024 Annual Interfaith G20 and PaRD Forum on Religion and Sustainable Development. This forum serves as a vital platform to discuss key topics related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and reforms in global governance. In this context, the Dean of the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) at Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM), Prof. Dr. Trisakti Handayani, MM, received a special invitation to participate in this international forum held in Brasília, Brazil, from August 19 to 22, 2024.
The invitation is a recognition of Prof. Dr. Trisakti Handayani's dedication and significant contributions to the field of education and sustainable development. As part of the forum, Prof. Dr. Trisakti Handayani will join a diverse range of international stakeholders, including religious leaders, academics, and professionals from various sectors. Discussions will center on key issues such as combating hunger, poverty, and inequality, as well as exploring the three dimensions of sustainable development—economic, social, and environmental. The forum draws inspiration from the G20 Brazil theme: “Building a Just World and a Sustainable Planet,” which aligns with the priorities of the 19th G20 Summit scheduled for November 2024 in Rio de Janeiro.
One of the forum's highlights is the opportunity for participants to contribute to drafting statements from religious leaders to be presented at the planned G20 Social Event. This provides a valuable platform for Prof. Dr. Trisakti Handayani to share insights and perspectives from FKIP UMM in a global context, as well as to learn about best practices from around the world.
In a brief interview, Prof. Dr. Trisakti Handayani expressed her honor and gratitude for the invitation. “I feel deeply honored and grateful for the opportunity to participate in this significant forum. It is an extraordinary chance to collaborate with diverse stakeholders and contribute to achieving global sustainable development goals. I look forward to sharing insights from FKIP UMM's experiences and learning from best practices worldwide,” she remarked.
As Dean of FKIP UMM, Prof. Dr. Trisakti Handayani brings valuable perspectives from an Indonesian higher education institution committed to advancing quality and sustainable education. Her participation in this forum will not only strengthen FKIP UMM’s relationships with the international community but also support global efforts to create a more just and sustainable world.
The forum is expected to foster productive dialogues and innovative solutions to current global challenges. Prof. Dr. Trisakti Handayani’s presence in Brasília is anticipated to enrich discussions and promote broader collaborations among the education sector, civil society, and global stakeholders in their collective efforts toward a better future.
