Ganjar also told what he was doing in Central Java, by creating a creative hub that is a place for creative young people to channel their talents and interests.
"We have to make more creative hubs, so that children in remote villages can also get space. I met musician Aftershine yesterday, they are musicians from Bantul but now they are famous. Or Putri Aryani's story, who is now a top musician. I'm sure there are still many creative musicians out there like them, "he explained.
