The joint program between Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) and Universitas Tanjungpura (UNTAN) in May 2023, themed "The Beauty of Mangrove," focused on sustainable community service and environmental education. The project, part of Service Learning University Malaysia (SULAM) and the Global Classroom initiative, aimed to raise awareness about the importance of mangrove ecosystems in Kalimantan Barat. Students from both universities collaborated on activities such as mangrove reforestation, eco-tourism, and the use of mangrove plants for medicine and local products. 
The program also fostered cross-cultural collaboration, problem-solving, and environmental stewardship, strengthening international partnerships and local community engagement.
