Indonesia: Minister of Culture Fadli Zon emphasized that his ministry has created a cultural talent management program that is closely aligned with initiatives to improve the dance arts environment in Indonesia. By providing mentoring, training, and encouraging public participation, this program aims to foster artistic ecosystems, particularly in dance. The government also recognizes the importance of incorporating dance into wider areas, including tourism, education, and cultural diplomacy.
- Lord, we pray that the cultural talent management program will effectively foster artistic ecosystems in Indonesia, providing the necessary mentoring and training to nurture the next generation of dancers and artists. May the name of Jesus alone be glorified by all these art forms (The Holy Bible, Psalm 150:6).
- Lord, we pray for the successful integration of dance into tourism, education, and cultural diplomacy efforts. May the government and cultural leaders work together to promote dance as a vital component of Indonesia’s identity and heritage, drawing people together and fostering understanding among diverse communities (The Holy Bible, 1 Peter 4:10).
