Thursday 17 november.

Today we were expected at the second day of the LEAN-CC conference. Different speakers tried to explain thing about climate change. The one was more interesting than the other, but I think we learned some nice things. Spared from a electricity fall-out we were able to sit in a nice cooled auditorium. Unfortunately, the day was very long and however some speeches were very educational, some were quite boring as well.

The conference started with a speech from Dr. Jatna Supriatna, the chairman of Climate Change Research Centre from the University of Indonesia. He told something about the causes of climate change and he gave some solutions, but I think his speech was quite superficial.
The second speech of the day came from Mr. Bernhard Barth, a Human Settlements Officer at UN-HABITAT. He gave a speech about urban climate change. The biggest part of his story was about the way these problems must be educated. For us, as university students, I think this presentation was not that useful, but I think it was interesting. `
The third speech was given by Stelios Grafakos and dr. Sukamdi. They talked about some practical issues of studying in the EU and outside the EU. For students with the wish to study abroad, this was very practical and useful.



After a short coffee break, we continued this day with a presentation with the Philippine view on climate change by Charlotte Kendra Gotangco. Following this presentation, Daniel Irurah presented the South-African view on climate change. Hereafter the Indonesian perspective was presented by Hotmauli Sidabalok. The fourth presentation in this curricula was about Lithuania and the Personalised Library system. The last presentation before our lunch break was given by Margaretha Breil from Italy with a presentation about different climate change courses in Europe.

After a great lunch, we continued our conference. The group was splitted in three different groups, to discuss different problems. The discussion between Indonesian students and Dutch students was really interesting, because both groups thought about different priorities. At the end of the discussion, we had to present them. All the three presentations were meaningful.
After the presentations, the conference came to an end. We all received a certificate of attendance and went back to the hotel.

In the evening we went to the big mall to get some dinner and after that we went to the HappyPuppy for a nice evening of karaoke. Some of the Indonesian students joined us at the Karaoke. After some nice songs and 4 hours of karaoke, we decided to get some sleep.
