Lowokwaru (malangkota.go.id) – Tasikmadu Village, Lowokwaru District, Malang City held a Children's Festival in the yard of the Tasikmadu Village Office, Sunday (13/10/2024). Dozens of school-age children appeared enthusiastic in showing off their talents, starting from performances of various regional and modern dances, as well as singing together.
Tasikmadu Village Head, Adhi Kristanto, said that his party wanted to accommodate the talents and interests of children in his area so that they could express all their potential and abilities. In addition, from Gebyar Anak it is also hoped that it can develop children's potential in the future.
"We invite all our children to sing old songs and hopefully they can recognize the songs, considering that currently there are many songs circulating that are not good for children's development. In this case, we also invite parents to always introduce national and regional songs to children," added Adhi.
Likewise, with the holding of regional dance performances, it is also hoped that children will not forget the traditional culture inherited from their ancestors. "If not the current generation, who else will inherit the culture of this nation. The future of this nation will also be determined by this young generation, so character and moral strengthening are needed," he said.
He further said that the growth and development of children is greatly influenced by the environment and parents. Especially children who are still of school age who are quite vulnerable to negative cultural influences. "Let's parents continue to pay attention to their children so that they will become a useful, moral and highly competitive generation," continued Adhi.
In this series of events, Tasikmadu Village also held an exhibition of UMKM products attended by vulnerable community groups, including the disabled and the elderly. On this occasion, TP PKK members also held make-up training and a fashion show competition which was a form of involvement and active role of community members. (say/yon)
