IPB Students Introduce Halal Life Style with Educational Cards
Three Students of Bogor Agricultural University (IPB), made the first halal education card in Indonesia. This innovation is a creative solution to improve community literacy in the halal lifestyle. The halal education card called the US (Uno Syariah) Innovation Card successfully won 1st place in the event "The 5th PESTA (Sharia Economics Week of Trunojoyo Madura) 2018" which was held by the University of Trunojoyo Madura Islamic Economics Student Association (2-5/11). This activity takes the theme "Towards an Innovative and Creative Young Generation in Realizing a Halal Lifestyle".
They are Alfi Rahmasari, a student from the Department of Economic Resources and Environment, Retno Khoirunnisa and Utami Amanda, students from the Department of Islamic Economics, Faculty of Economics and Management (FEM).
In the form of interestingly designed board game media, this educational card is also present to encourage the creation of stronger social interactions between children and adolescents through a fun learning process.
Uniquely, US cards are not only for Muslim communities, but also for non-Muslims. This is because halal lifestyle is now an universal lifestyle.
"In practice, the main target of US implementation is to target several subjects including parents who are concerned with sharia economic education from an early age, teachers, and activists in the education and social community," Alfi said.
Alfi explained that in a set of US card games there is one Kitab-Ku and 70 playing cards consisting of material content that includes halal food, halal fashion, halal travel and halal finance which are explained in the form of definitions, legal basis, basic understanding to examples its application in everyday life.
"We hope that this innovation can be effectively implemented in many regions so that community literacy towards the Islamic economy and halal lifestyle is increasingly increasing and their knowledge can bring benefits," Alfi concluded. (FM)
