Policy outputs

This project aims to create a learning model as a concrete implementation of the Independent Education Curriculum currently implemented by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Indonesia. This model uses an artistic and cultural approach and involves young people in the process. In particular, the Betawi arts and culture are being explored, which include Lenong, dance, music, martial arts (Pencak Silat) and rhymes (Pantun), with an infusion of skills including other performing arts. While the project will have peer researchers, the entry point will focus on vocational schools in Jakarta province.

In developing the learning model, we are working with the Education Office and the Cultural Office of Jakarta, who are fully supportive of the project due to its focus on revitalising local culture and integrating local wisdom into the curriculum.

The expected output of this project will be a training module that provides a detailed description of all stages and activities of Lenong revitalisation and artwork in the form of Lenong performances that will be used in dialogues between young people and audiences. This training module can also be used in senior high schools as an alternative to implementing an independent curriculum through an arts and culture approach.
