On Thursday, 13 March 2025, the Geography Series event featuring Tanzania was successfully held at the Ballroom Science Building, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (MIPA). The event, which took place from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, aimed to introduce various aspects of geography, culture, and life from a particular country, with Said Sadallah Said, a graduate student in Chemistry from Tanzania, as the main speaker.

Geography Series is an initiative designed to provide participants with in-depth insights into specific countries, presented by students who are natives of those countries. In this session, Said Sadallah Said shared knowledge about the geography, culture, and challenges faced by Tanzania, and how these aspects are interconnected with the country’s social and economic development.

The event was moderated by Muh. Naufal, who skillfully guided the discussion, creating an interactive atmosphere that allowed participants to better understand the various topics presented. In his opening remarks, Mr. Saaduddin, M.Sc., emphasized the importance of studying geography as a way to better understand the diversity of cultures and environments around the world.

Over the course of two hours, Said Sadallah Said took the participants on a journey through the cultural and geographical richness of Tanzania. Despite his background in Chemistry, Said was able to provide an in-depth explanation of Tanzania’s geography, society, and culture, as well as offer a unique perspective on environmental challenges such as climate change and natural resource management in Tanzania.

The event saw a high level of enthusiasm from the participants, with numerous questions and discussions emerging throughout the session. Attendees not only gained insights into the geography of Tanzania but also learned how geography plays a crucial role in shaping social and economic life in any country.

With the success of this event, Geography Series hopes to continue introducing the world’s diversity through the perspectives of students from those countries, further promoting a deeper understanding of the connections between geography, culture, and global challenges.
