Throughout the first day of the workshop, enthusiastic and engaged participants, including experts and academics, contributed their unique perspectives and experiences, enriching the discussions on campus sustainability efforts. Their collective involvement not only deepened the shared knowledge but also fostered a strong sense of responsibility and commitment to address the critical challenges of our time. The second day involved a local sustainable initiative tour, where the workshop participants were invited to Gambir Mukti, a climate program from Priyan's village, showcasing various sustainability efforts, such as overcoming the shortage of clean water supply by constructing biopores and infiltration ponds, conserving woody trees, and eco-friendly sprout production. Additionally, the waste from sprout production was used as animal feed, and the leftover water used to irrigate freshwater fish cultivation ponds. The program also involved a waste bank to support waste management efforts in Bantul Regency. Under the umbrella of the Gambira Mukti organization, the Priyan Climate Village Program aimed to manage both organic and inorganic waste, utilize livestock manure, achieve self-sufficient food security, innovate in irrigation systems, control climate-related diseases, promote biogas production, renewable energy, and energy-saving efforts.

This workshop indeed served as a kickstart and a shining example to raise awareness and motivate other Islamic universities in Indonesia to follow suit.
