PT Bank Danamon Indonesia Tbk. (Danamon) hari ini umumkan salah satu ajang tahunannya yaitu Danamon Young Leaders Award 2009 (DYLA), program pendidikan bagi pelajar tingkat perguruan tinggi yang memiliki pengetahuan bisnis serta kesadaran akan isu sosial dan lingkungan yang kuat. DYLA merupakan bagian dari tanggung jawab sosial Danamon dalam bidang pendidikan.

Kini memasuki tahun ketiga, DYLA mengusung tema ‘Eco Campus Challenge’, yang menantang para mahasiswa untuk mendaftarkan proyek “hijau” dan mengimplementasikannya di kampus dan komunitas masing-masing.

“Peningkatan kepedulian lingkungan di masyarakat kita merupakan tantangan besar yang harus terus menerus dilaksanakan. Mahasiswa, sebagai pemimpin masa depan adalah elemen penting dalam masyarakat yang akan membangun hari esok. Untuk itu, generasi muda diharapkan mampu menyelaraskan kata dan perbuatan serta membawa perubahan di komunitasnya. DYLA juga merupakan kesempatan yang baik bagi mereka untuk meningkatkan kapasitas kepemimpinan dan mengembangkan kemampuan dalam manajemen proyek ’, ungkap Maria Theodora Kurniawati, Human Resources Head Danamon.

Mulai 9-11 Juli, 30 peserta terpilih akan mengikuti 3 hari pelatihan tentang green awareness, kepemimpinan, social entrepreneurship dan manajemen proyek di Kampus Danamon, Ciawi, Bogor.

Pelatihan ini merupakan pembekalan untuk tahap implementasi di bulan Juli – Agustus. Pemenang DYLA akan diumumkan pada tanggal 7 Agustus 2009, dimana pemenang pertama akan mewakili Indonesia dalam East Asia Environmental Forum di Osaka, Jepang pada tanggal 19-23 September 2009 mendatang.

’Tigapuluh dari ratusan proyek “hijau” yang kami terima tahun ini telah lolos proses seleksi ketat, dimana para kandidat berasal dari berbagai universitas di Indonesia. Proyek yang telah diseleksi adalah yang menanggapi isu lingkungan secara nyata di kampus atau komunitas. Kami memilih proyek yang sederhana namun membawa dampak signifikan. Tahun ini kami menerima berbagai proyek, mulai dari sosialisasi penggunaan bio-energi sebagai alternatif energi terbaharui, aplikasi eco-enzim sebagai pembersih kebutuhan rumah tangga hingga pengunaan kotak makanan yang dapat dipergunakan berulang kali di kampus’, kata Maria.
