UNS — Proud achievement was accomplished by Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta student Farrel Rizky Budiman from Diploma Program in Tourism Business, who won 1st place in Creative Education Video Competition for Financial Inclusion and Video Competition for Financial inclusion Month held by Financial Services Authority (OJK).
In the online competition with the “Investment Alternative and Saving Methods in Millennials Era” theme, Farrel, who was supervised by Amad Saeroji, S.S. M.Sc., was interested in participating in the competition because it was a prestigious competition.
“At first (I was) pessimistic because the participants were quite many with great works, but with courage and determination, finally participated in the competition,” Farrel stated to uns.ac.id team on Friday (24/12/2021).
Farrel submitted a work that discusses the importance of investing from early age and saving. He also shared the need to be careful in making an investment to prevent the community from being trapped in fake investments. His videos took three days to complete from the production process, scenario writing, storyboard development, video take, and editing. He competed with hundreds of other teams from all around Indonesia, and he was strongly moved by the result.
“I was so moved because I could win two different competitions because truthfully I was pessimistic with the work I made, but with maximum efforts and prayers, Alhamdulillah (I) could get the best result,” Farrel stated.
He hoped that in the future, he could be more productive and inspire more people with his works. Humas UNS
