Youth leadership exchange Jambi Province 2021

Pertukaran Pemuda Antar Negara (PPAN) merupakan program tahunan, kerja sama Pemerintah Indonesia dengan negara-negara sahabat dalam pengembangan potensi generasi muda untuk menambah khasanah pengetahuan dan wawasan serta mempersiapkan diri dalam menghadapi tantangan global yang semakin kompleks di masa yang akan datang. Program Pertukaran Pemuda Antar Negara (PPAN) merupakan salah satu program Kementerian Pemuda dan Olahraga Republik Indonesia. Dan Provinsi Jambi sangat mendukung dan turut menyukseskan Program Pertukaran Pemuda Antar Negara ini.

Pertukaran Pemuda Antar Negara bertujuan untuk mempererat persahabatan dan kerja sama pemuda Indonesia dengan pemuda negara sahabat, serta meningkatkan saling pengertian, yang selanjutnya bisa menciptakan dan meningkatkan kerja sama antara pemuda Indonesia dengan negara sahabat.

Alhamdulillah saya menjadi salah satu peserta Pertukaran Pemuda Antar Negara tahun 2021 walaupun belum berkesempatan menjadi delegasi Provinsi Jambi untuk mengikuti pertukaran ke Australia dan Singapura. Saya dan teman-teman mengikuti karantina di Hotel Shang Ratu selama beberapa hari dan bertepatan pula dengan bulan Ramadhan. Banyak agenda yang diikuti, mulai dari tes tertulis, penampilan bakat dan lain-lain.

Banyak ilmu dan pengalaman yang diperoleh selama kegiatan, selain itu saya juga berkenalan dengan teman-teman hebat yang menempuh pendidikan baik di dalam negeri maupun di luar negeri. Kami juga saling bertukar cerita, berbagi pengalaman, dan lain-lain untuk memajukan dan mengenalkan Jambi kepada Dunia.

Berikut beberapa dokumentasi kegiatan PPAN 2021

Technocraft (Creative Technology of Batik Motifs from Digital Photos) as an Improvement of Digital Batik Creative Industry Business in Ulu Gedong Village, Jambi City

Ulu Gedong Village is one of the largest batik centres in Jambi City, all of which have batik craftsmen who are still actively producing batik until now. Jambi batik is created in groups that still use traditional processes, and the batik motifs they make are obtained from generation to generation. The motifs include Durian Pecah, Kaca Piring, Puncung rebung, Angso duo with crown wings, Tampuk Manggis, Kapal Nyanggat, and others.

Based on surveys and observations from interviews with community leaders and craftsmen, people in Ulu Gedong produce a lot of written and stamped batik. The batik production process is made by housewives or home-based businesses. Meanwhile, many of the younger generations are not interested in continuing to make Batik like their parents did. This is because the process of making batik takes a long time, especially in written Batik. On the other hand, the motifs they make tend to be monotonous based on generations, causing a lack of competition with other regional batik motifs. This impact is thought to cause the level of economic factors and the welfare of craftsmen to be very low. So, the youth groups in the Ulu Gedong are looking for other, more promising jobs.

Based on the background of problems such as the weak community economy and competitiveness, taking a long time to create Batik, the lack of innovation in batik motifs, and the level of attractiveness of the younger generation as craftsmen fading, a solution is needed to solve these problems by applying computer application technology "Technocraft" (Creative Technology Batik Motifs from Digital Photos).

It aims to socialize and facilitate the community in the process of making batik motifs that are fast, efficient, and attractive by using the "Technocraft" application as an attraction for the younger generation of Jambi batik craftsmen and increasing the digital batik creative industry business that produces creative product innovations in Ulu Gedong Village, Jambi City.
