The commemoration of Youth Pledge Day on October 28th is a significant moment in the history of Indonesia’s struggle for independence. During the Second Youth Congress in 1928, youth from various regions united to declare the Youth Pledge, affirming three key points: one homeland, one nation, and one language, which is Indonesian. This pledge became a symbol of unity and the foundation for the nation’s struggle for independence and development.
Many activities can be conducted to celebrate Youth Pledge Day, with the hope that they inspire young people to contribute to the advancement of the nation. This occasion also serves as a moment of reflection for students, who play a crucial role as pillars of unity for all Indonesians. Active participation by youth in these activities demonstrates their commitment to a better future.
The values of unity and the spirit of struggle embodied in the 1928 Youth Pledge are still relevant to the role of students today. Students have the responsibility to uphold unity and contribute to social and economic development through innovation and active participation. By integrating these values, students indirectly support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as poverty reduction, quality education, and the advancement of inclusive development.
As a generation living in a rapidly changing era, it is important for us to understand and adapt the values of the Youth Pledge. The spirit of perseverance and collaboration are key to facing the challenges of the future. Through collective efforts and strong commitment, we can create a better future for Indonesia, in line with the ideals of our forebears who fought for independence and the integrity of the nation.
Let us realize the spirit of the Youth Pledge in every step we take, for the progress and sustainability of Indonesia.
