KUMBANG X KENYANG 2.0 – Pre Project Training: WEBINAR

KUMBANG X KENYANG: Growth, Development, and Nutritional Balance of Dear Children is a collaborative activity between the Student Engagement Grant, The University of Melbourne, Capella Foundation, and the Center for Indonesian Medical Students’ Activities, Gadjah Mada University (CIMSA-UGM) which aims to improve public awareness, both health cadres and parents, on issues of growth and development. Kumbang Kenyang is a social project that focuses on the growth and development of children, especially among children under 5 years of age.

However, along with the increasing attention to stunting prevention programs as a growth disorder, developmental problems are unfortunately still often neglected by both parents and health cadres in the community. This can result in delays in the detection of children who have a tendency to experience developmental disorders and delays in providing the intervention and stimulation needed by these children. 

Based on this background, this webinar has a theme Growth, Development, and Nutritional Balance of Dear Children. This event is held on December 12th – 13th, 2020 via Zoom Meeting. On the first day, introductory material will be presented on child growth and development. The presentation will be carried out in two sessions which will be presented by Prof. Susan Sawyer and dr.
