President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) continues to support the development of the creative economy in Indonesia, especially Aceh. As an effort to support this, Aneuk Muda Aceh Unggul Hebat (AMANAH) inaugurated a new building equipped with various supporting facilities. This building is expected to become a center of innovation and development for the millennial generation of Aceh, who are encouraged to take part in the growth of the regional creative economy.
The new AMANAH building provides various advanced facilities specifically designed to support the creativity of Aceh’s young generation. These facilities support various training and collaboration programs in various fields, including digital content, music, audio production, making robots, and others. The podcast room in the AMANAH Building is divided into two parts, namely the shooting studio in the front and the operator room in the back to adjust the audio, camera switcher, and online recording and broadcasting. This facility is designed with professional equipment, including cameras, computers, and aesthetic lighting, allowing for the production of high-quality podcast content.
One of the managers of this facility, Thamlica, is optimistic that this facility will encourage young people in Aceh to be more creative in producing digital content. With this podcast space, they hope to be able to channel various creative ideas and concepts and raise relevant issues in society.
AMANAH also facilitates the young generation of Aceh to work in the field of music and audio production . This music studio is open to young Acehnese who want to form a band or produce their own songs, and is equipped for various needs such as voice over , dubbing , song recording, and other audio production. The room includes several sections such as a rehearsal room, vocal room, and monitoring room, all of which are professionally designed.
One of the training participants, Ridho, stated that for the first time, Acehnese children could enjoy a recording studio that had very adequate equipment, even quite professional. Ridho added that the facilities in the AMANAH Building, especially in the field of audio production , were the most advanced and complete in Aceh today. The existence of this music studio greatly helps local audio production actors to produce more professional works.
AMANAH not only provides facilities, but also presents intensive training guided by professional instructors from Jakarta. They teach audio production techniques and optimal use of sophisticated equipment available in the studio. Thus, the training participants can master the technical skills needed for high-quality audio and music production. This training provides new insights and skills for participants to face challenges in the world of music and audio.
In addition, amidst the challenges faced by students in the field of science and technology, the AMANAH Building emerged as a solution for the young generation of Aceh. Dean of the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) UIN Ar Raniry, Dr. Ir. M Dirhamsyah, MT, IPU, said that one of the major challenges faced by students is the lack of adequate laboratory equipment. This hampers the teaching and learning process and research development that should be carried out by students. Limited information that is often late is also a problem in itself. Students often feel stressed because they have to catch up in terms of the very rapid development of science and technology.
Therefore, Dirhamsyah emphasized the importance of the presence of experts from AMANAH who can be recruited to teach and provide guidance to students. With this collaboration, students will not only gain theoretical knowledge but also practical knowledge that will be very useful when they enter the world of work.
The presence of the AMANAH Building is expected to bridge this gap with laboratory facilities and workspaces equipped with modern equipment. With the support of adequate facilities, students can collaborate with AMANAH, utilize the available equipment, and establish relationships with experts who can guide them in developing better technology products. Dirhamsyah believes that with this collaboration, the young generation of Aceh will not only be better prepared to face challenges in the world of work, but can also contribute significantly to improving their regional economy.
With various facilities available in the new AMANAH building, the Acehnese millennial generation is expected to play a more significant role in the development of the creative economy. This building is a symbol of the commitment to create space for innovation, collaboration, and empowerment of young people in various creative fields.
AMANAH’s new building with adequate facilities provides much-needed support for Aceh’s young generation to develop in the creative economy sector. These facilities are expected to facilitate the creation of creative innovation and collaboration. With full support from the government and various parties, AMANAH is optimistic that Aceh’s millennial generation will be able to contribute to bringing the region’s creative economy to a brighter future.
