REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Meaningful Participation successfully organized a Meaningful Discussion program on the theme 'Young Inspiration, Real Action: The Role of Young People to Strengthen the Creative Economy, Care for the Environment, and Cultivate Diversity' at Warung WOW, South Jakarta, Thursday (8/2/2024). The speaker was the Deputy Governor of East Java, Emil Dardak.

Moderated by the Coordinator of Meaningful Participation Daily, Charisma Bintang Alghazy, the discussion was attended by hundreds of young people and students. On that occasion, Emil Dardak advised Gen Z to continue improving and strengthening skills to face the challenges of increasingly complex times.

The challenge was driven in full by the increasingly rapid development of technology. “With the faster and rapid development of the current times, if it is not balanced with capable abilities or skills, then we will be far behind,” Emil said in a press release in Jakarta, Saturday (10/2/2024) evening.

The former regent of Trenggalek explained that, in addition to skills, the younger generations need to increase creativity in order to continue creating for the betterment of the nation. He also hopes that the presence of an innovative forum can encourage millennials, to be used as a means of developing MSMEs whose potential is still great in Indonesia.
