Oath of Youth! The historical moment in 1928 that still awakens the spirit of young Indonesians whenever they recall it. How could they not? The event that\u2019s referred to as the \u201cbirth\u201d of the nation of Indonesia was initiated by youths \u2013 demonstrating that big things can happen from the hands of young people.<\/p>\n
At that time, Muhammad Yamin was 25 years old, Amir Syarifudin 23 years, and Johannes Leimena 23 years. Along with their friends, they organized the 1928 Youth Congress. They had a vision and determination. They dared to dream and were willing to sacrifice for the nation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Inspired by them, today\u2019s young people want to follow their steps. On June 16th, young people gathered together in the Community \u201928 to re-ignite the spirit for our nation\u2019s future. Community \u201928 was named after the event of the Oath of Youth in 1928. It\u2019s to show the determination of today\u2019s youths to have a vision and willingness to sacrifice for the nation, like what their predecessors have done.<\/p>\n
Community \u201928 was launched with a discussion on \u201cPancasila, Our House\u201d, where Jakob Tobing was the keynote speaker. 27 people came from various youth movement backgrounds, including college students (UI and UPH), academicians, church (GBKP and GPIB) and NGO activists. The diverse backgrounds made the discussion very lively. A number of issues around Pancasila were addressed enthusiastically.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

After the discussion, the participants got to know each other closer in small groups during lunch time. It\u2019s no surprise that they carried on the discussion in those groups! Their conversation focused on their experiences and observations of issues and challenges faced by the Indonesian people.<\/p>\n
Here are some impressions from the first meeting of the Community \u201928:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
