LC Project of November 2022
LC Project of the Month November 2022 is awarded to IFSA LC Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) from Indonesia for this recurring collaborative project I-CON. The possibility to get together to discuss and find solutions for different issues is one of the many advantages we have as IFSA since we are a network of forestry and related students from over 60 countries worldwide.

Forestry and environmental issues at the status quo are as urgent as ever since it’s impacting the lives and well-being of this planet which we can already see mainly from climate change. In order to tackle it, we need all related parties’ involvement as possible, in this context, forestry students. We believe that strong relationships and collaboration between students will strengthen our solution and action in tackling these issues. Thus, IFSA LC UGM conducts I-CON (IFSA-Collaboration) as a platform to discuss and connect.
I-CON is an annual event from the Forestry Education Commission of IFSA LC UGM, Indonesia, where we aim to have knowledge and cultural exchange between forestry students. This year, we took the step of getting beyond the boundaries of Indonesia and connecting with international students from IFSA LC Istanbul, Türkiye, to discuss further forest fire issues in each of our countries and its policies. Here, we share and learn from each other, and most importantly, we have fun together.

See you at the next I-CON!
