Innovation and Collaboration

 According to the chairman of the committee, CIBUS or Cinema in the Bus is the first activity to provide information about reproductive health through audio visual media of a short film that is watched on the bus and also the kinetic learning is playing and moving. To make it better, this full of innovation activities was held with the cooperation between HMKM FK UNUD with The David and Lucile Packard Foundation. The David and Lucile Packard Foundation is a "private foundation" that grants funds to nonprofit organizations around the world. The foundation, based in California, United States, is a funding organization engaged in various fields ranging from conservation, science, children, family, to the health of the population and reproduction, as did HMKM FK UNUD through this CIBUS activity.

This cooperation started from Yuni, the chairman of the committee, who attended the International Conference on Family Planning 2016 Nusa Dua, where she made a proposal or a brief proposal framework at the "Quality Innovation Challenge" session on innovative activities targeting public health issues, especially youth reproduction in Bali. Together with the team and assistance from various parties, Yuni together with Ngakan Putu Anom Harjana (vice chairman of the committee) managed to get a grant from The David and Lucile Packard Foundation to be able to carry out this CIBUS activity.

"The background of this activity is we see the problems in Indonesia especially in Bali on reproductive health where there are two problems that are still concerning in free sex and unwanted pregnancies. This is because due to inappropriate information access to the teenagers in Bali so they are vulnerable to hoaxes, myths and various information, which is not true. Here we play a role and provide information and assistance in solving problems by making Cinema on the Bus activities" said the student from the 2014 generation. 

Not only cooperation in the field of funding, CIBUS also collaborate with other institutions that have the same scope and mission that is in the field of public health. These institutions include Kisara (Kita Sayang Remaja) who open an information booth, Generation Planning Forum which opened an educative game booth, as well as Udayana One Health Collaborating Center (OHCC) which helped from the cultivation of the proposal to the implementation of the activities.
