Report Activity No. 3
Activities Information
On 10 November 2019, I joined a program which is ‘Depression Talk: You Are Not Alone (by Aiman Psikologi)’. It was organised by Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Kelab Kaunseling & Kerjaya and in collaboration with Psychic club. The event was done in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.
Graduate Attributes
As for the graduate attributes, in term of communication skills, participants get the chance to talk to a lot of people such as the committee. Next, this program helps them to learn more about depression which could improve their thinking skill. Besides, in term of scholarship, this program educates people not to judge people who suffer from depression. As for the leadership and teamworking skill, it was more for the committees. Other than that, this program exposes to the participant how to adapt easily with depressed people. Thus, it will help to improve global citizen. Last but not least, when people join this kind of program, they will be more curious to join future program.
Position/Role in the activities
I was one of the committees under ‘Activity unit of Psychic’. My role was to explain to people anything related about depression when they came to visit my booth
Mini Report
The reason why I decided to participate in this program is because I would like to improve my communication skill. I found that the graduate attributes that were focused on in this program was firstly, the communication skill. For example, I will have to explain to the people about depression when they came to visit. Also, along with my teammates, we have to work together to do some activity for the visitors to do so they will not get bored. Besides, after the program finished, we also had to clean the booth together and returned the items we borrowed to their owner back. We had to carry a lot of stuff for the booth. Even though it was tiring, the efforts worth it as in the end of the day, we were told that the people who came to visit our booth enjoyed the view and we had to offer to them.
Self-Reflection
Personally, this kind of program always improve my graduate attributes such as self confidence. For example, I learnt a lot of things after joining a program such as my knowledge improves. It taught me how just when you think you know a certain thing, there is still a lot of other things that you didn’t know. As for the challenges, we had a bit difficulty to borrow some items in the beginning. We didn’t know how and where to borrow certain items to be put in our booth. But fortunately, we still managed to get it and we were thankful to the people who help us. For instance, there are certain things that we borrow from the Counselling centre in UTM. And we learnt how to rent a lorry to bring the heavy items to the booth. It wasn’t easy but at least there are some experiences we got due to this.
