The event was held at the Faculty of Engineering by holding a healthy walk and ceremonial on Sunday, (24/07). 

Spirit of Movement is part of one of the participants' movements in implementing sustainable development by implementing healthy and environmentally friendly activities which are realized in the form of healthy walking activities. This healthy walk uses the Pontianak City pedestrian route which also passes through the Pedestrian Bridge (JPO) on Jalan Jend. Ahmad Yani.

Crackers eating competition, and moving water into bottles competition. In addition, there was a door prize distribution for the most disciplined, most creative, most friendly, most outgoing, and best teaching lecturer categories. 

One of the missions of PWK is to carry out the Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi process (education - research - community service) based on sustainable development, which is part of a movement that is visualized with positive activities for the community. In essence, the vision and mission that will be visualized is a movement that must be accompanied by a sense of enthusiasm so that it can be carried out properly and can produce a positive impact. 

“Today we will carry out an agenda with the theme of spirit of movement, the spirit of movement is the vision and mission of PWK itself to continue to carry out sustainable development and for its own mission to uphold the Tri Dharma of Education.” Explained Rizky Anggoro Putra as the Chairperson of the 9th PWK Anniversary Committee.

“The vision and mission must be visualized so that later it can lead all parties and can have a positive impact on all.” He added.
