The presidential candidate for the PDIP and PPP coalitions, Ganjar Pranowo, ended his activities in Cirebon by hanging out with Gen Z at Famouz Cafe, Saturday, June 3. Even though he has been active all day since 05.30 WIB, Ganjar still seems excited and enthusiastic to chat with hundreds of young people who are decades apart.
Arriving at the location at around 16.00 WIB, Ganjar was immediately greeted with various works by young people. Among others, paintings on canvases, paintings on clothes, handicrafts and other creativity. Ganjar had time to paint and sing with the young people.
Various things were discussed by Ganjar Pranowo with the young people of Cirebon and its surroundings. While sitting lesehan, Ganjar and Gen Z talking about hobbies, daily activities, creations, innovations to venting and exchanging experiences.
"I'm always happy when I meet the younger generation. They are great kids who only two I see. Creative and innovative," said Ganjar.
The creation and innovation, Ganjar continued, were distributed with various media to produce works. Some paint, sing, become YouTubers, vloggers, gamers and many others.
Thus, the government's task is to provide more space for these young people. For example, creative hubs or other access in the form of assistance, guidance, and other things they need.
"For example, those who are artists feel it is important to include them in the category of small and medium industries, you know. Because, that way, they can get quite a lot of guidance, assistance and access from the government," he explained.
Because, Ganjar continued, there are many young people who pursue the art world, but are confused. They write songs, compose songs, play music and others, but are confused about how to promote their artwork so that it can develop.
"So, access must be given to them. Training venues, expressive places that use multi-digital platforms and others," he explained.
Apart from talent and creativity, Ganjar also found something interesting from Gen Z circles. Apparently, Gen Z also really cares about environmental issues.
He knew this, after receiving a painting gift from plastic waste from a young man. Plastic waste, which is now a serious threat to the environment, is used as a very beautiful painting work on Ganjar's face.
"So it's interesting, young people with the idea, some even manage garbage into paintings. I'm increasingly aware that Gen Z's children care about environmental issues, equality and always think creatively. Cool," concluded Ganjar Pranowo.
