Since last week is the end for my Sustainable Development Goals subject syllabus, so this week my lecturer asked me and my classmates to start discussing on the project proposal that we want to do in order to achieve the goals. But, before I share with you guys on the topic that me and my group members has chosen for our group project, let me share with you some knowledge on eew initiatives that IIUM (International Islamic University Malaysia) has done in order to achieve the goals for the sustainable development as IIUM has become one of the universities that implement the Sustainable Development in the university.
Have you guys heard about the Flagships Project? So, one of the initiatives that IIUM has taken in order to achieve the goals are by introducing the Flagships project in the universities where all lecturers and staffs taking part in giving their efforts in order to promote the sustainable development goals and to contribute to the well-being of the society. There are so many projects that is included in the Flagships project such as I-DO-CARE, Gender Dysphoria, Siber Sejahtera, Hikam, School for Sustainable Marine Livelihood, Peace and Justice in the Community, Islamic Social Finance for B40 Community, The Muara, Sanaa-i-Tajweed, YSM Sejahtera, Sustainable Endowment and Redistribution System, IIUM OKU4U, IIUM River of Life and so many more. But this time, i am thinking to share a few to you guys.
IIUM OKU4U
👉 Since IIUM is striving to produce Balanced Persons among all of its graduates and also staffs and the neighbouring community, so the university decided that there should be no single individual are left behind only because of their disabilities or called as Persons with Disabilities (PwS). As far as we know, these PwD's are always facing difficulties in fulfilling their daily basic needs such as praying and doing things that are out of their control. Their disabilities would limit themselves in terms of physical barriers which is the building that are not accessible for them and also non-physical barriers such as some inflexible rules and regulations that do not meet their special needs. Thus, the university has decided to remove all of these barriers in order to create a social justice for all of us to live in a fair world. The sustainable and sejahtera community cannot be achieved without including these PwD's within the campus.
SANAA-i-TAJWEED
👉 Since we are moving into the world of technology and all people are using technology in order to get information faster and to reach out to more people out there. So, IIUM has decided to grab this golden opportunity to create a technology-based learning platform by using the Artificial Intelligence (AI), as well as supporting the conventional Quranic teaching and learning in the IIUM community. Futhermore, this Flagship project also focuses to introduce one of a unique Kelas Asas Fardhu Ain or we called it as KAFA especially among children in the IIUM communities which will act as one of the religious platform, as practiced by most primary schools nowadays. Moreover, IIUM also aims to be the Quranic Hub where there will be some experts who will share on knowledge to the communities regarding the Quran teaching and learning.
Here, we can see that IIUM has taken lots of efforts to produce a sustainable world in regards to the universities. So, as i have mentioned above that i will share my discussion for my group project, let's get started.
This time, for my group project, we have chosen food wastage as our main issue as we can see that food wastage has become a worldwide concern especially in the context of Malaysia, our beloved country. So, during the discussion, we have found several reasons on why Malaysians like to waste food and throw it into the bin. One of the reasons is because they do not make proper planning when buying the groceries at the shop and they just buy anything that they desire, instead of what they actually need. This contributes to food waste as they do not even eat those food that they buy and left the food till it expire in the cabinet. We have also discuss about the possible solutions that we can make in order to reduce the food waste in the community but we are yet to decide it. So, i guess i would share more on my group's discussion in my next blog. Till then, see you again👋
