The event became an event to show the results of the work of each program including the dissemination of HKSR and KBGS knowledge to the wider community and strengthen the branding of Rutgers WPF Indonesia as center of excellence in the HKSR and KBGS sector in Indonesia.

In this event, it is not without reason that Rutgers WPF Indonesia collaborates with an idol group JKT48, which consists of young women who are talented in singing and dancing. JKT48 songs often contain messages of enthusiasm and don’t give up, healthy relationships with peers, and love yourself for a bright future. Thus, it would be appropriate for JKT48 to be involved to help convey the issues of Rutgers WPF Indonesia to teenagers.

Until now the event recording Your Voice, World’s Future has been witnessed by more than 10,000 JKT48 fans and also teenagers from across regions in Indonesia. This activity was opened with the appearance of JKT 48 who delivered a song Heavy Rotation. This series of events was filled showcase Rutgers WPF Indonesia programs that present program achievements, as well as testimonials from beneficiaries.

“As an initiative, Rutgers Indonesia brings the two worlds, teenagers and adults together so that they can move together, not just talk to each other but also dialogue, not just work together but create work together, not just listen to each other but listen to each other and not just understand each other but understand each other, “said Country Representative Rutgers WPF Indonesia, Amala Rahmah.

One of the beneficiaries of the Rutgers Indonesia program, Luh Putu Wulandari Artha, KISARA PKBI Bali said that previously they were not confident enough and insecure enough to communicate, interact and negotiate with adults.

“By participating in the Meaningful Youth Participation (MYP) Training, I know better that teenagers must have the courage to voice their own opinions, because if not ourselves as teenagers who else knows our needs better than ourselves,” he said firmly.
