Unisa Festival 2025 Affirms Commitment to Culture, Environment, and Health

Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (Unisa) Yogyakarta held the Unisa Festival as part of its 34th anniversary celebrations at the Unisa Yogyakarta Integrated Campus on Saturday (October 11, 2025) – Sunday (October 12, 2025). One of the activities in the Unisa Festival was a social movement to plant trees around the Walidah Dahlan Mosque area at Unisa Yogyakarta.

This tree planting action is a concrete manifestation of Unisa Yogyakarta’s support for the Social Development Goals (SDGs) or Sustainable Development Goals. “We fully understand the current situation; the threat of climate change must be anticipated by creating a green campus,” said Unisa Yogyakarta Rector Warsiti.

Warsiti explained that the Unisa Festival is also an annual event for Unisa Yogyakarta as part of its anniversary celebrations. The theme chosen each year aligns with the current circumstances. This year’s theme is Culture, Green & Healthy.

This theme also reflects the hope that Unisa Yogyakarta will participate in and play an active role in environmental conservation and cultural preservation. “And the hope is that this will become the spirit of the community to live healthy lives, both physically and mentally,” said Warsiti.

The Unisa Festival will take place over two days. On the first day, there will be an International Culture Festival, the Kick Off for New Student Admission (PMB), a pop-up market, and various other activities such as a fashion show featuring recycled materials.

On the second day, there will be the Unisa Charity Fun Run, health check-ups, blood donation, psychological assessments, and a culture festival where all academic programs will set up booths showcasing cultures from across Indonesia.

“For this cultural festival, the hope is that the entire Unisa Yogyakarta community will continue to develop their creativity and innovation. At the same time, this diversity should not be a barrier to progress, but rather a space to foster togetherness and spread the values of goodness. Rooted in cultural values and, of course, the values of Progressive Islam,” said Warsiti.

In addition to involving all members of the Unisa Yogyakarta community, this event also collaborates with the local community and Unisa Yogyakarta’s partners. Unisa Yogyakarta also collaborates with disability groups as a manifestation of its inclusive approach.
