Malang, 21 July 2024 – On Sunday (21/7/2024), Let’s Play Indonesia organized the “Play Session with 3G Cooperative” event in Malang. The event was attended by 25 participants from the Glintung Go Green Cooperative (3G). Aiming to introduce the concept of student cooperatives through game-based learning, the event succeeded in creating an interactive and educational atmosphere.
The purpose of this event was to teach participants about the concept of student cooperatives through educational and interactive games. Additionally, the session aimed to enhance participants’ understanding of the dynamics of cooperation and competition in the business world through the use of board games.
Series of Activities
The event started at 10:00 AM WIB with an ice-breaking activity designed to create a relaxed atmosphere and prepare participants before the main game session. The ice-breaking activity successfully created a fun and relaxed environment, making it easier for participants to interact and get to know each other.
After the ice-breaking, Arif Bawono, co-founder of Let’s Play Indonesia, gave a briefing on the type and details of the game to be played. He explained in detail about the board game Business Craft, as well as the objectives and benefits of this session.
The game session was divided into three tables, with each table consisting of five teams. Each team consisted of two to three people and was accompanied by one facilitator. Participants were challenged to collect as much money as possible as the main objective of the game. However, each round of the game introduced dynamics that depicted real-world business challenges, such as differences of opinion among individuals and competition among competitors.
The Business Craft game lasted for two hours, starting with an introduction session, game instructions, the game session, and ending with a reflection session. The reflection session provided participants with the opportunity to reflect on their experiences, share their views, and learn from the situations faced during the game. This discussion was guided by facilitators who helped direct participants’ understanding of the importance of cooperation, strategy, and communication in business.
After the Business Craft session ended, participants enjoyed a break and lunch until 1:00 PM WIB.
The next session was a playtest of Kopsis Story, aimed at introducing the concept of student cooperatives to participants. The method used in this session was similar to the previous one: starting with an introduction, game instructions, the game session, and ending with a reflection session. The Kopsis Story session lasted for one hour, where participants were invited to understand how student cooperatives can function and provide benefits in the school environment.
On this occasion, Let’s Play Indonesia was pleased to be present and collaborate with 3G Cooperative to organize this event. Through game-based learning, Let’s Play Indonesia hopes participants not only learn about the concept of student cooperatives but also directly experience the dynamics that occur in the business world. This session was designed to provide a fun and interactive learning experience.
Participants showed high enthusiasm throughout the event. They actively participated in every session and gave positive feedback on the benefits of this game-based learning method. Many participants stated that they gained new insights into the concept of student cooperatives and business strategies and felt more prepared to apply this knowledge in their daily lives.
