Depok City Government, West Java wants to involve the younger generation, including Gen-Z participating in preserving the original culture of Depok City. This is intended so that culture is not eroded by the times.
"One of them is the tradition of Rebut Dandang which has been designated as an Intangible Cultural Heritage (WBTb) in West Java by the West Java Provincial Government in 2023," said Acting Regional Secretary (Pj) Nina Suzana in Depok, quoted from ANTARA, Sunday, December 8.
Nina explained that apart from the Dandang Rebutan culture, there is also the Cisalak Mask Dance, Ngubek Empang and so on.
"This needs to be preserved so as not to become extinct in the midst of modernization," he said.
Mpok Nina, her nickname, said that Tanjidor and the Pintu Cross were displayed at the opening of the 2024 Media Arts Summit, not the Depok native culture, but Betawi culture.
However, he still invited all parties present to participate in preserving and developing existing cultures.

"Through various Depok cultural appearances in every activity, we hope that today's children know and can disseminate that Depok City has a distinctive culture," he continued.
"Because young people have an important role to play in preserving local culture so that it remains existing and widely known," he said.
