Surabaya – The Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences Student Executive Board (BEM FPK UNAIR), through the Ministry of Communication and Information, successfully held one of its flagship annual programs, “Rayakan Hari Bermakna” (Celebrate Meaningful Days), throughout the year 2025. The initiative was conducted virtually through the official Instagram account of BEM FPK UNAIR, serving as a creative platform to commemorate national and religious holidays during the cabinet’s term of office. The program aimed to foster a spirit of unity, nationalism, and social awareness among the academic community of FPK UNAIR.
The activity began on March 31, 2025, and concluded on November 10, 2025, with regular content publication aligned with Indonesia’s national holiday calendar. Each post featured visually engaging designs accompanied by positive and informative messages that reflected the values of each celebrated day. Among the featured moments were Kartini Day, National Education Day, the Birth of Pancasila, Indonesia’s Independence Day, Youth Pledge Day, and Heroes Day. Religious holidays such as Eid al-Fitr, Vesak, and Christmas were also highlighted as part of the program, reflecting FPK UNAIR’s respect for diversity and inclusivity within the campus community.
Despite minor challenges—such as a brief posting delay due to internal faculty scheduling—the entire program was executed smoothly and on time through effective coordination between the organizing team members. Overall, “Rayakan Hari Bermakna” achieved its key outcomes, including increased engagement and positive public response toward BEM FPK UNAIR’s social media presence. Each uploaded post successfully garnered over 100 views and strong appreciation from students and staff, reinforcing the faculty’s digital visibility and organizational credibility.
Beyond functioning as a digital appreciation platform, this activity also became a form of creative self-expression for the Ministry of Communication and Information in strengthening the positive image of student organizations in the digital sphere. The published content went beyond mere greetings—each post carried moral messages aligned with academic values, integrity, and social awareness. Through this initiative, BEM FPK UNAIR successfully presented itself as an active, creative, and socially engaged organization, dedicated to promoting meaningful national and cultural celebrations within the university environment.
The program concluded with an internal evaluation meeting on November 10, 2025, attended by the Program Chair, Faculty Advisor, and representatives of the Communication and Information Ministry. During the meeting, the organizing committee presented a detailed activity report, achievements, and recommendations for future program development. The evaluation results indicated that the initiative was effective, relevant, and impactful, leading to recommendations for its continuation in upcoming periods. Proposed innovations include the production of short videos, Instagram reels, and inter-ministerial collaborations to reach broader engagement.
The successful completion of “Rayakan Hari Bermakna” 2025 marks the end of a productive and inspiring year for BEM FPK UNAIR’s digital communication initiatives. Moving forward, this program is expected to continue evolving as a sustainable platform for celebrating unity, diversity, and nationalism, while reinforcing the academic and cultural identity of the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences at Universitas Airlangga.
