The very strong commitment of the Aceh Youth Creative Hub (AYCH) or the Aneuk Muda Aceh Superior and Great Center Building (AMANAH) in supporting and facilitating the development of creativity for young people is manifested from various kinds of positive activities.
The various positive activities that AMANAH carries out in the community show how strong the commitment of the initiation program of the State Intelligence Agency of the Republic of Indonesia (BIN RI) is to continue to fully support and provide adequate facilities so that youth creativity can be developed.
Because in fact all young people in Indonesia, including Aceh, have extraordinary potential or talent. However, they are often less exposed and there is no adequate platform or facilities for this, making them less prominent.
In fact, if the extraordinary talents and potential of these young people are met with very strong support and full facilities, then it is not impossible that they will contribute actively and positively to the development of community, regional welfare and even have a national impact.
Aneuk Muda Aceh Excellent and Great (AMANAH) indeed has a very strong commitment to continue to encourage and foster youth creativity so that they are all able to survive and face the challenges of the times and become the nation’s superior and great next generation.
Many of the positive activities that AMANAH carries out aim to provide young people with valuable experience so that they can use it to prepare themselves for their life journey or plan their careers in the future.
One of the concrete steps of the institutional initiation program led by Police General (Ret.) Prof. Dr. Budi Gunawan, namely the event entitled ‘Goes To Campus: Young People Who Create’ aims to continue to provide young people with inspiration so that they do not stop realizing their creations and innovations, especially in today’s digital world.
Don’t forget, in every event that takes place, AMANAH usually invites or presents resource persons who are very competent in their fields and are able to inspire young people.
One of the speakers who is also a young singer who graduated from the X Factor Indonesia talent search event, Fatin Shidqia, gave very high appreciation and admitted that she was very happy and grateful to AMANAH for holding such an event.
This event is able to further encourage improvement or upgrade and self-improvement among young people. Not only that, but the positive activities of the BIN initiation program are a forum for young people to expand their relationships with each other.
Meanwhile, another resource person who is a content creator, Awien Syuib, in the AMANAH activity continued to encourage all participants who are young people, so that they should never be afraid when creating, especially if they only have to face other people’s criticism.
Currently, the world is completely digital, where the use of social media has become very commonplace or widespread in all levels of society and in all sectors of human life, including work, so that if there is a work on social media, it will bring a number of responses, both positive or negative, it should be handled normally.
It turns out, when holding various forms of activities directly in the community, especially those targeting young people, AMANAH continues to try to present something that is very relevant and able to make them really interested or enthusiastic about the event.
Evidently, in the Goes To Campus activity, all participants were very enthusiastic and many of them gave very high appreciation for the success of the event. One of the participants, Rijal Arrasyid (20) said that he was very happy and grateful for the BIN initiation program.
Not half-hearted, in fact, because they considered that there were many benefits that came from AMANAH, the Acehnese youth then admitted that they were very interested in being able to join together.
Moreover, in AMANAH there are many various activities that are called social movements and continue to invite or involve active and positive contributions from young people, thereby making them develop even more.
The creativity of all young people continues to be honed thanks to one of the government’s flagship programs in the leadership era of Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), which showed BIN as the initiator.
Indeed, AMANAH itself has become one of the flagship programs of the Head of State in the field of empowering the quality of human resources (HR) in Indonesia, especially Aceh, so that it operates in the field of empowerment in various sectors such as agriculture, fisheries, fashion and other sectors that are relevant today.
All the efforts that AMANAH has made are clear evidence of how strong the Indonesian Government’s commitment is through BIN, by initiating this program to fully support and facilitate the development of youth creativity.
