ISI Yogyakarta, December 9, 2025, Institut Seni Indonesia (ISI) Yogyakarta hosted the “Biasakan Yang Benar Goes To”, a national anti-corruption campaign program held by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in commemoration of World Anti-Corruption Day (HAKORDIA) 2025. The activity took place at ISI Yogyakarta's Concert Hall Building and was attended by hundreds of ISI Yogyakarta academicians and strategic partners of the university.
This activity took place for one full day and became an important dialog space for the ISI Yogyakarta academic community to strengthen integrity through a more inclusive approach to art, education, film, and public communication. The implementation of activities at ISI Yogyakarta also emphasizes the strategic role of art institutions in encouraging an anti-corruption culture in Indonesia.
The activity began at 09.00 WIB with registration of participants, followed by the opening by the MC and singing the Indonesia Raya song. As an opener, students from the ISI Yogyakarta Dance Study Program presented Swannara Dance, a choreographic work that reflects creativity, discipline, as well as a symbol of the readiness of the arts in supporting the national anti-corruption movement.
The Vice Rector for Student Affairs, Cooperation, and Alumni of ISI Yogyakarta, Dr. Muh. Kholid Arif Rozaq, S.Hut., M.M., in his speech emphasized that the art campus must be a space that not only produces talented creators, but also individuals with high integrity who are able to respect ethics, transparency, and responsibility in the process of work and professional activities.
The main part of the first session was the anti-corruption socialization delivered directly by KPK Chairman, Dr. Johanis Tanak, S.H., M.H., with material entitled “The Art of Preventing Gratuities in Higher Education”. In his presentation, Tanak emphasized that universities are the “last bastion of common sense”, the birthplace of clear and critical thinking. He reminded that various educational integrity surveys still show violations of academic ethics such as plagiarism, abuse of authority, and gratuities that are considered normal. Therefore, campuses need to strengthen the integrity ecosystem early on.
Entering the second session (afternoon session), KPK presented Anti-Corruption Film Festival (ACFFEST) 2025, a national program that aims to raise public awareness through the power of the medium of film. The ACFFEST movie screening lasted for 50 minutes, followed by a panel discussion with the speakers:
- Dimas Juju, movie director How to be an Actor,
- Medio Venda, Program Director ACFFEST 2024-2025,
- Endang Mulyaningsih, Lecturer of Film & Television Program at ISI Yogyakarta.
- Febriyanti Pratiwi, as moderator and lecturer from Visual Communication Design Study Program, FSRD, ISI Yogyakarta.
In the discussion, the speakers explained how anti-corruption issues can be interpreted through the language of cinema. Movies are considered to have the ability to touch the emotional awareness of the audience without the impression of patronizing, making it effective as a medium for integrity campaigns among the younger generation.
The event was also enlivened by a stand-up comedy performance by Mukti Entutz, who presented a humorous perspective on social phenomena and integrity values.
The program then entered the most anticipated segment, the “Benar-Benar” Live Podcast hosted by Andovi and Jovial Da Lopez. Together with KPK representatives Alfiana Rachmawati and M. Indra Furqon, this podcast invited students to have a casual dialogue about small habits that can create an anti-corruption culture, from daily honesty to the courage to refuse gratuities.
With an interactive format and communication style that is close to the student culture, this podcast succeeds in presenting anti-corruption education in an atmosphere that is light, fun, and easy for the younger generation to understand.
The “Biasakan Yang benar Goes To Campus” program is part of KPK's strategy to strengthen anti-corruption education through collaboration with higher education institutions. The activity at ISI Yogyakarta is not only a momentum to commemorate Hakordia 2025, but also part of a continuous effort to foster the character of students as agents of change.
The implementation of a series of activities at ISI Yogyakarta shows that art has great potential as a medium for social change. Through films, performances, comedy, and public dialog, integrity values can be conveyed more closely, relevantly, and have an impact on the younger generation.
The activity was closed at 16.10 WIB with a group photo session. Through this strategic collaboration, ISI Yogyakarta and KPK emphasize their commitment to continue strengthening a higher education ecosystem that is transparent, free from gratuities, and upholds anti-corruption values.
ISI Yogyakarta believes that art education cannot be separated from character education. Integrity is the main foundation for the creation of meaningful work and responsible professional practice. Through HAKORDIA 2025, ISI Yogyakarta emphasizes its role as an art institution that is active, concerned, and contributes to building a clean and integrity future for Indonesia.
