Capacity Building is an activity carried out by an institution or group to improve the ability of both individuals and groups from the aspect of knowledge, work skills and behavior through interesting activities. The implementation of capacity building in an organization or institution is very important because it can increase the ability, especially the skills and work ethic of the institution’s members or employees.
The management of the Geological Engineering Department decided to carry out Capacity Building activities on March 10-11 2023 at the Puri Asri Hotel, Magelang, Central Java. The activity was packaged in such a way that the participants did not feel bored participating in the activity. Speech by the Head of the UNDIP Geological Engineering Department, Dr.rer.nat. Ir.

The second topic “Commitment to Improving the Quality and Quality of Service to Students” was delivered by Rinal Khaidar Ali, ST., M.Eng. Interestingly packaged fun games such as guessing game add to the liveliness of the activities.
The second day of the Capacity Building activity began with outdoor activities with the theme “Increasing Teamwork” guided by Jenian Marin, ST., M.Eng. Various interesting games such as yelling contests, singing contests, balloon running competitions which are carried out in groups or individually are held to improve skills and cooperation between teams.
