UNAIR NEWS – Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR) launched the Airlangga Movement for SDGs Awareness (AMORA): Airlangga SDGs School X SDGs Ambassador 2025, a joint initiative combining the SDGs School training program and the SDGs Ambassador selection. Held at the Bayu Kinara Room on the second floor of the Airlangga Convention Center (ACC), MERR-C Campus, the event took place over two days, Wednesday and Thursday (May 14–15, 2025).
The SDGs School is a training platform designed to expand students’ understanding of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Open to current UNAIR students, the program acts as a preliminary stage in the ambassador selection process. Of the 40 participants, only 20 will move on to compete for a spot in the SDGs Ambassador 2025 cohort.
Ahmad Safril Mubah, S.IP., M.Hub.Int., Ph.D., UNAIR’s SDGs Expert Coordinator, extended his gratitude and support to the student participants. “Thank you for taking part in AMORA. This event marks the first phase of the SDGs Ambassador selection. While not all participants will advance, I hope everyone gains meaningful insights and learning from the experience,” he stated.
SDGs School X SDGs Ambassador
The SDGs School portion of AMORA covered six key topics directly tied to various SDGs. These included Health and Social Welfare, Gender Equality and Sexual Violence Prevention, Sustainable Economic Growth and Digitalization, Marine Conservation and Environmental Sustainability, Partnerships for the SDGs, and Sustainable Cities and Communities.
The broader aim of AMORA, Mubah explained, is to foster a stronger culture of SDGs literacy within the university and inspire students to take concrete action. The program was structured to deliver deep, topic-based learning through interactive workshops, expert-led sessions, group discussions, and critical dialogue.
Mubah also noted that students who are selected among the top 20 will serve as official campus ambassadors, charged with promoting and leading action-based initiatives in support of the SDGs.
