Throughout the history, youth movements have influenced and contributed to the national resurrection and development. Youth participation in shaping the nation is an actual contribution towards the birth of the Republic of Indonesia. The first Youth Pledge in 1928 has shown the initiative of youth to start and pioneer the formation of the state. In Indonesian context today, youth pioneering activities are essential towards acting on issues such as social welfare, education, information technology and science considering the challenges arising in the globalisation era and the implementation of the ASEAN Economic Community.

The government concern about youth development is realised through the ministry of youth and Sport appreciation for the youth for their dedication and initiative to make positive changes in their community.
