Keep Blessing The Nations
ICOP 2023
About ICOP 2023
ICOP 2023 was the first COP held offline after the COVID-19 pandemic gradually subsided. In 2023, students and communities came together across two regions at the same time: Mojokerto, East Java, and West Sumba, East Nusa Tenggara. Each location had its own needs, challenges, and local potential, shaping a journey of service-learning rooted in collaboration.
The theme, “Keep Blessing The Nations,” marked COP’s 27th year. It reflects a commitment to continue being a blessing to underdeveloped regions that are still out of reach and not yet ‘independent’ in education, health, economy, and more, and to be a blessing to the students who take part as well.
From clean water and public facilities to children’s education, village tourism, and local products, students worked alongside residents to create initiatives responsive to their surroundings.
