community stronger and more vibrant.
Bima
I agree, Laras!
Can you tell me more about these different ethnicities

in Indonesia and their unique customs?

In Indonesia, we have a rich tapestry of ethnicities like Javanese, Sundanese,

Balinese, and many more. Each group has its own special way of dressing,
dancing, and celebrating. It's incredible!
Bima

For example, the Batik tradition, where people create beautiful patterns
on fabric, is a shared art form appreciated by many ethnicities. It's like a
language of colors and designs that unites us.
Bima
That's so cool! I love how it creates a strong sense of
unity and reminds us that we're all in this together.
Laras
It's a beautiful reminder that despite our differences, we
can come together to create something wonderful.
Every ethnic group has its own delicious dishes, and people
often share their recipes and meals during gatherings!
That's a wonderful way to connect with each
other and enjoy the joy of food.
Bima
Amazing! It's great to see that Indonesia is so
diverse, and that our traditions are so rich.
Laras
Yes, Bima, it's so much more than that!
We also celebrate many different religious festivals together, and it's so

great to see people from different communities participating in each
other's traditions. It builds understanding and fosters a wonderful sense
of mutual respect among our religious communities.
Bima
It's truly impressive how Indonesia embraces its diversity! How do
schools promote understanding of these cultural differences?

Schools often incorporate cultural education into their curriculum,
teaching children about the different ethnicities, customs, and
traditions.
This helps foster a sense of pride in our diversity

and promotes understanding from a young age.

Prologue In Chapter 5, our journey unravels with Mr. Malik as our guide, guiding us along
the Historical Trail. As we entered the past, the narratives of our homeland emerged,
establishing a connection between historical events and the present. Mr. Malik's
guidance served as a conduit, facilitating our examination of the import of historical
events and the narratives of noteworthy individuals.
During the course of our excursion, the atmosphere was permeated with a sense of
anticipation as the group engaged in a historical quiz. It was an opportunity to test our
knowledge, a playful challenge that brought the pages of history to life for each student.
Join us as we embark on this historical adventure, seeking to unravel the threads of our
past and to discover the vibrant tapestry that forms the foundation of our identity.
As they delved deeper into the Historical Trail, Mr. Malik's engaging storytelling
transported them to key moments in history, painting vivid pictures of the past. Each
stop along the trail was meticulously chosen to highlight significant events and the lives
of influential figures who shaped the homeland. The group's enthusiasm grew with every
story, fostering a newfound respect and curiosity for the historical landscape around
them.
Dialogue
Subsequently, on the Historical Trail with Mr. Malik
Mr.Malik
I would like to welcome you all to our historical
adventure!
Today, I will be guiding you through the historical trail, uncovering

tales from the past and connecting history to the present.
(Mr. Malik once discovered an old mysterious text which consisted of old
phrases. After reading it, it was a text from the past, the Sumpah Pemuda text.
The group quickly discerns that the inhabitants of Heartland are of a different
historical era and acquires a number of antique weapons. These are crafted
from bamboo.)
As they traverse the trail, they uncover historical narratives.
Mr.Malik
Alright everyone, I have a question. Does anyone

know what Sumpah Pemuda is?
Laras
Yes, I know a little bit about it. Isn’t it a pledge made by
young Indonesian nationalists?
Mr.Malik
That’s correct, Siti. Sumpah Pemuda, or the Youth Pledge, is a declaration
made on October 28, 1928, by young Indonesian nationalists during the
second Youth Congress in Batavia, now Jakarta. It was a significant step
towards Indonesian independence.
Can anyone tell me more about what the pledge entails?

Bima
The pledge consists of three parts:

1. We the sons and daughters of Indonesia, acknowledge one motherland,
Indonesia.
2. We the sons and daughters of Indonesia, acknowledge one nation, the
nation of Indonesia.
3. We the sons and daughters of Indonesia, uphold the language of unity,
Indonesian.
Mr.Malik
That's right, Bima!
Laras
So, they pledged unity in terms of land, nation, and
language. Why was this so important at that time?
Mr.Malik
Good question, Laras
So, at the time, Indonesia was under Dutch colonial

rule, and the archipelago was divided by various
ethnic groups, languages, and cultures.
By making this pledge, the youth leaders emphasized

the importance of unity and national identity, which
were crucial in the struggle for independence.
It marked a significant step in the unification of Indonesia and

inspired future generations in the fight against colonialism.
Bima
That’s really inspiring. How is Sumpah Pemuda commemorated today?
Mr.Malik
Every year on October 28th, Indonesians celebrate Sumpah Pemuda Day
to honor the pledge and the spirit of unity and nationalism.
There are various activities such as flag-raising ceremonies,
cultural performances, and educational events that remind
us of the importance of national unity. It’s a day to reflect
on our shared identity and commitment to the country.
Laras
It’s amazing how a pledge made by young people
so long ago still has a significant impact today.
Mr.Malik
Absolutely, Laras. The spirit of Sumpah Pemuda reminds
us that unity and a common purpose are powerful forces
that can bring about great change. It’s a testament to the
role that youth can play in shaping the future of a nation.
Bima
Thank you for explaining this, Mr. Malik. It’s really enlightening
to learn about this part of our history.
Mr.Malik
You’re welcome, Bima. Remember, understanding our history is essential
in appreciating and contributing to our country’s future.

ideas?

How about preparing traditional dishes from different regions?
It’s a tasty way to showcase the diversity of our culinary
heritage.

Laras
I agree! We can also incorporate eco-friendly practices, like using
locally sourced ingredients and minimizing waste
Mrs. Johan
Fantastic! Let’s create a menu that reflects our commitment to
sustainability. Now, who wants to work on the visual displays?
As they discuss the details of their culinary showcase and
visual displays, Mrs. Johan suggests a hands-on activity

For the Nature Conservation Zone, we can use recycled
materials to craft representations of local flora and fauna. In the
Culinary Heritage Village, we can set up interactive displays
showcasing the cooking process. And for our historical
adventure, let’s create a timeline highlighting key moments
Mrs. Johan
Outstanding ideas, Bima! Now, let’s talk about the hands-on
cooking session. We want everyone involved.

dish. This way, everyone can actively participate and share their
culinary skills.

eco-friendly. Lilian, could you suggest some locally sourced
ingredients we can use?

fruits, and even locally produced spices. This way, we support
our local farmers and reduce our environmental impact.
Mrs. Johan
Excellent choices, Laras! Bima, how about we minimize waste
during the preparation and serving of these dishes?
Bima
We can use reusable utensils and plates, and set up recycling
stations for any waste we do generate. That way, our culinary
journey stays environmentally friendly.
Mrs. Johan

Frank, please organize the dishes and note the region they
represent.
