Covid-19 pandemic creates new challenges for Indonesia amid global uncertainty. The increase in unemployment, poverty and handling of the impact of Covid-19 pandemic also makes Indonesia's debt increase. To answer the challenges amid this uncertainty, there are two aspects that need to be encouraged, namely collaboration and the quality of Human Resources. From June 24 until 30, 2020, the World Indonesian student association has been holding a live streaming through YouTube channel initiating a special study forum related to these two aspects, as a form of contribution to the country. Hopefully, it can stimulate public awareness of the importance of thinking, competing, and working globally while sharing knowledge which is gained from abroad to Indonesia and vice versa. Several Indonesian Ambassadors are invited to attend as representatives. Recommending the government, the association also invites Dino Patti Djalal as the founder of Indonesian Foreign Policy Community (FPCI). Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, Retno Marsudi is also invited at the end of the series of the events and at the same time, she will receive a recommendation letter in the form of key points of the results of the study during the event. What is hoped from this event is that the World Indonesian student association can introduce the association to the people of Indonesia that this association is the pioneers of the world's future leaders, and also showing the international community about the existence of the association. This was stated by Fadlan Muzakki, Coordinator of the world Indonesian student association.
