Rumah Digital Indonesia Officially Launched, a Fun Way to Celebrate Independence Month in the Pandemic Era

Kapanlagi.com - Entering August every year is synonymous with the excitement of independence celebration moments. Such as decorating the house complex with red and white nuances, various competitions, and other independence celebrations.

But, the excitement in celebrating Independence Month becomes different when the pandemic strikes. Of course, independence competitions and others should no longer be done directly and in crowds to prevent the spread of the Corona virus.

Therefore, the Government officially launched Rumah Digital Indonesia (RDI) to enliven independence in the midst of the pandemic. In its inauguration moment on Sunday (1/8), President Joko Widodo said that Rumah Digital Indonesia is the right platform to celebrate independence this year.

"In the current pandemic situation, we celebrate it differently. We will celebrate it more in the virtual world that we call Rumah Digital Indonesia," said President Jokowi.

1. Many Exciting Activities in Digital House Indonesia

In Digital House Indonesia, all Indonesian people can actively participate in various activities, such as online-based competitions, enjoying various arts and cultures typical of Indonesian regions. Not only that, people can also interact with each other, shop for MSME products from 34 provinces, and collaborate to help others through various spaces in Digital House Indonesia.

"This is a digital space as a container for participation and togetherness in celebrating the independence month," said the President.

The President's Special Staff, who is also the Chairperson of Content Development for Digital House Indonesia, Putri Tanjung, said that RDI will be present for a whole month. People can access it through www.rumahdigitalindonesia.com

Putri also conveyed that Digital House Indonesia is the right media to explore the beauty of nature and culture of the archipelago. "In Digital House Indonesia, we can celebrate independence without barriers, collaborate to create works, and learn more about Indonesia with all its rich cultural diversity and beauty," said Putri.

Meanwhile, the State Secretary Minister, Pratikno, said that the series of events in the celebration of Indonesian independence will still proceed as before. Starting from national prayers, state speeches, to the proclamation ceremony, will also be witnessed at the RDI National Stage.

"The government still carries out the ceremony in a minimalistic manner according to strict health protocols, and the public participates virtually. So, the liveliness is in the virtual world. In Digital House Indonesia, offline activities can be witnessed online," said Pratikno.
