The Communication Studies Program, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP), Universitas Negeri Semarang, is hosting the International Creative Poster Competition under the theme “Semarang Bergerak: Young Voices for a Coastal City”. The competition is open to undergraduate students from universities in Indonesia and abroad.
Semarang is a coastal city with a long history as a port. Its closeness to the sea also brings real challenges, such as tidal flooding, land subsidence, loss of mangrove areas, and coastal waste. Many coastal cities around the world face similar problems, which makes protecting them a shared concern across borders.
This competition is a global call for young changemakers. Participants are invited to share their ideas through a creative poster showing how young people can move Semarang and other coastal cities toward a more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable future. Ideas may take the form of direct action, lifestyle change, local wisdom, or social innovation.
