Surakarta or Solo City, Central Java is famous as the center of Javanese culture which is still well preserved today. Parekraf friends can find many interesting things related to culture when traveling to Solo City. Starting from batik cloth with its flagship motifs: Parang Kusumo and Truntum, to cultural centers that still preserve traditions passed down from generation to generation.

This attraction is what finally succeeded in bringing Solo into one of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network lists. ​Quoting from the page en.unesco.orgthe UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN) was formed in 2004 to promote cooperation between cities that places creativity as a strategic factor in sustainable urban development.

Overall, currently the UNESCO Creative Cities Network covers 350 cities from 100 countries representing seven creative fields, including Crafts and Folk Arts, Design, Film, Gastronomy, Literature, Media Arts, and Music.

The success of Solo City in being included in the ranks of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network was not achieved easily. Bearing in mind, this is Solo City’s third attempt to enter the UCCN list, after previously failing twice in the selection since 2017. This success makes Solo City one of 55 cities that have also successfully become new members of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network in the field of crafts. and folk art (folk arts and crafts).

The inclusion of Solo City on the UNESCO Creative Cities Network list is a very good step for the tourism sector and creative economy. Because, recognition from UNESCO can open up business opportunities and employment opportunities, as well as improve the economy and welfare of the people of Solo City, especially creative industry players.

The Key to the Success of the City of Solo in Entering UCCN

Apart from that, there are several cultural events in the city of Solo that are interesting to watch directly, such as Solo Dancing, Solo Batik Carnival, Grebeg Sudiro, and Solo Keroncong Festival.

Until now, these places still regularly hold performing arts to preserve local culture. Like a puppet show, kethoprakRamayana ballet, wayang kulit performances, and contemporary performing arts.

Banyuwangi KLIKMU CO- Monitoring and Gathering Eco Bhinneka Muhammadiyah regional Banyuwangi was held for the first time Wednesday, May 8 2024. As the opening of the event, the Tapak Suci Putera Muhammadiyah attraction, the garuda dance and the gandrung dance were performed. The Garuda dance was created to show unity and oneness between various ethnic groups in Indonesia. Meanwhile, gandrung is an icon of Banyuwangi arts and culture which teaches about togetherness, mutual cooperation and unity in life.

The activity, which took place in the ballroom of the SMK Muhammadiyah 8 Siliragung Hotel, was attended by the Faith to Action Network team in Kenya, namely Farida Abdulbasit, Irene Bwari, and Erick Oloo, whose aim was to learn how to process waste with interfaith youth and students in Banyuwangi. “SMK Muhammadiyah 8 Siliragung is very grateful and happy to have been chosen to be part of Eco Bhinneka. “It really helped me to implement environmental conservation programs and harmony between students across religions.” Said Muhlas Efendi, Head of SMK Muhammadiyah 8 Siliragung.

This activity was attended by interfaith students, groups of environmental activist students, teachers and interfaith youth with a total of 50 participants. However, the visit of the Faith to Action Network from Kenya was of particular interest to the participants. Various snacks and fruit, as well as drinks with an environmentally friendly concept were part of the menu at this event.

With this gathering, Eco Bhinneka in Banyuwangi on the initiative of JISRA (Joint Initiative for Religious Action) and Muhammadiyah will become an example and inspiration for harmony and environmental programs at the Faith to Action Network in Kenya. Mukhlis Lahuddin, Chairman of the Muhammadiyah Banyuwangi Regional Leadership, explained that realizing Eco Bhinneka will take a long time. We must unite in our differences in beliefs, character, education, even economic class. It took Indonesia 78 years to reach today and still needs an explanation of “Bhineka” itself. Because time, generations and circumstances change continuously. Eco Bhinneka invites people to care about the environment and society.

Windarti, regional manager of Eco Bhinneka introduced Among (Youth of Eco Bhinneka Blambangan) which is an interfaith youth community initiated by Eco Bhinneka and was inaugurated on Saturday, December 29 2023. He also explained that Muhammadiyah 8 Siliragung Vocational School is a school supported by Eco Bhinneka. “Young people who are involved in Among need to be appreciated because apart from having personal activities, they can spend time on humanitarian, togetherness and caring activities,” said Mukhlis Lahuddin. He is ready to follow, see and report on this activity. He also hopes that Eco Bhinneka cannot be separated from historical writings that in 2022-2025 there will be a community activity called Eco Bhinneka and it will be successful in Blambangan.

Farida Abdulbasit, program manager of Faith to Action Network, in her speech appreciated friends who had displayed Banyuwangi arts and programs that had been implemented by Eco Bhinneka Banyuwangi. “The Eco Bhinneka team led by Windarti has good confidence. I was very amazed by the natural charm of Banyuwangi. “Banyuwangi is a pilot project for Eco Bhinneka in other areas,” he said. (Maydini/Winda)

SOLO, AYOSOLO.ID – Based on survey results, the Central Java Regional Police Chief, Inspector General Pol Ahmad Luthfi, is ranked highest as a candidate for governor of Central Java.

Based on the Kanigoro Network survey, one of the reasons for occupying the highest survey is that the Central Java Regional Police Chief has been proven to master problems and has expertise in the territorial field.

According to the founder of Kanigoro Network, Joko Kanigoro, in a survey simulation conducted by Kanigoro Network, Ahmad Luthfi was in first place with an electability of 25.1%, followed by Hendrar Prihadi at 23.8%, and third place Sudaryono at 13.7%.

Apart from these three names, other names included in the survey were Taj Yasin Maimoen (9.4%), Dico M Ganinduto (7.2%), Yusuf Chudlori (5.6%), Bambang Wuryanto or Bambang Pacul (4.5 %). Meanwhile, another 10.7% said they didn’t know or didn’t answer.

“The appearance of Ahmad Luthfi is an answer to public doubts about the previous Central Java leadership which did not provide significant changes. Luthfi’s figure is the antithesis of previous governors,” said Joko, Thursday 9 May 2024.

The second factor, he continued, was that with his background as Central Java Regional Police Chief, Ahmad Luthfi was considered the figure with the most capacity to lead Central Java.

“Mastery of Central Java’s problems and interior is one of the factors why Ahmad Luthfi’s electability is the highest among other figures,” he explained.

On the other hand, Joko also explained a sample simulation of candidate pairs for governor and deputy governor based on predictions of the grouping of supporting parties which allows for three candidate pairs.

This is based on predictions of electability and availability of seats for Central Java DPRD political parties.

“So it is very possible that in the Central Java regional elections there will be three pairs of candidates for governor and deputy governor,” he explained.

Furthermore, Joko explained that the simulation of three pairs was taken from the scores of three figures who ranked in the top three potential figures to be nominated as gubernatorial candidates.

Meanwhile, scores from four to high have the potential to be nominated as a candidate for deputy governor.

The founder of the Kanigoro Network assessed that this electability score system could be used as a logical consideration in capturing public aspirations through electability surveys of couples in determining their choices based on the availability of figures by grouping political party seats in Central Java.

“If you want to be consistent in sampling candidates for governor-deputy governor, it must be relevant to the number of political party seats available. Based on calculations of the composition of political party seats, we must present a maximum sample of three pairs,” he explained.***
