The Aceh Youth Creative Hub (AYCH) or Central Building for Aneuk Muda Aceh Unggul dan Besar (AMANAH) continues to raise hope and optimism for all the nation’s youth so that they can look forward to a much brighter future.
A bright future is certainly something that all parties hope for, especially if this can happen to the next generation of the nation. But of course success or success doesn’t just come straight away.
There needs to be very strong hope and optimism from the nation’s youth, so that in all their actions they are able to continue to bring something positive and useful.
In this case, AMANAH has a very important role. As one of the government’s strategic flagship programs initiated by the State Intelligence Agency of the Republic of Indonesia (BIN RI), now the path for young people to meet and achieve success is increasingly wide open.
One of the activities that AMANAH is carrying out is collaborating with the Kanot Bu Community to hold a visual arts exhibition entitled ‘AMANAH Hope 2024 Exhibition’ at the Aceh Tsunami Museum.
Of course, it is not without reason why this big theme was chosen, because the exhibition illustrates the hope and optimism of the young generation in the area nicknamed Rencong Country for the progress of their region.
One of the judges from the Acehratikan Arts Laboratory, Iskandar bin Ishak, expressed his very high appreciation and admitted that he was very happy because he could take part in this activity.
The exhibition entitled hope and optimism is able to increase the self-confidence of young artists by providing a wide platform or platform for them to display their work.
AMANAH’s activities are clearly very helpful for the younger generation to feel more confident and develop their artistic abilities. It doesn’t stop there, but the exhibition also continues to encourage creativity and innovation and is able to open up many new career opportunities for young people.
Likewise, Idrus bin Harun as the exhibition judge from the Kanot Bu Community also gave very high appreciation to the Government’s strategic community empowerment program through the initiation of an institution led by Police General (Ret.) Prof. Dr. Budi Gunawan.
According to him, AMANAH has provided a great platform for all young people to be able to express themselves, their feelings and views through an artistic approach because this is important for the growth and development of the young generation personally and socially.
It is clear that the existence of this strategic flagship program initiated by the State Intelligence Agency (BIN) is able to bring a breath of fresh air to the entire young generation in the area nicknamed the Veranda of Mecca.
The existence of AMANAH Hope 2024 itself can be a symbol of hope and new enthusiasm for all young people so that they can achieve a much brighter future. The exhibition inspires all young people to be involved in art and culture, and can increase awareness of the appreciation of the cultural and local values found there.
This event brought a lot of positive things and made the younger generation more confident in showing and creating more works in various fields.
Meanwhile, the President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo (Jokowi) continues to encourage all young people to be able to build this nation together and advance the country through work and achievements.
The Head of State firmly believes that in the hands of young people, Indonesia’s future will become more advanced and able to compete even with all other countries in all corners of the world, especially in terms of achievements and innovations that support the nation’s progress.
There is very high optimism that this country will be able to compete in the future and win competition even with other developed countries. However, there are requirements that must be met, namely that efforts to develop and develop human resources (HR) must be a priority and run optimally.
The government continues to intensify efforts to develop and develop the quality of human resources (HR), especially among young people, one of which is by implementing a strategic flagship program, namely AMANAH.
With the existence of the Superior and Great Aneuk Muda Aceh, in the future, even though there is a demographic bonus, where there is an explosion in the number of people of productive age, it can still be utilized positively in every step taken by the youth to advance this country.
The role of youth is to bridge between generations so that they can become determinants and leaders of the Indonesian nation in the future. Today’s young generation actually has many achievements, but sometimes there is a lack of adequate platforms and facilities.
In the Aceh Youth Creative Hub (AYCH) or the Aneuk Muda Aceh Superior and Great Center Building (AMANAH), hope, enthusiasm and optimism continue to rise among young people to look to their future and that of their region to be brighter.
