Denpasar (Antara
Bali) - Themed "Unity in Diversity," the 12th annual Sanur Village
Festival, to be held on August 9-13, 2017, will promote the spirit of
national unity through attractions, such as musical, cultural, and art
performances.
"Bhineka Tunggal Ika, or Unity in Diversity, is the theme of the
festival, expected to be comprehended specifically as a form of love for
the homeland and nation," Sanur Village Festival Chairman Ida Bagus Gde
Sidharta Putra remarked here on Friday.
Putra expressed hope that the festival would motivate the nation`s
elements to gain a deeper understanding of the ethnic, linguistic,
religious, and cultural differences in Indonesia.
Fostering a spirit of unity despite differences is expected to send
a strong vibe to the people, especially visitors, who come to promote
tolerance and laud the differences.
"Re-strengthening the values of Bhineka Tunggal Ika is a nation`s
awakening process. The extensive hatred and violence in both the cyber
and real world pose a threat to the nation`s unity. However, the Sanur
Village Festival, with its programs, attempts to create an `awakening
festival` by sending out good messages of national unity, with its
values promoting Unity in Diversity," Putra said.
In addition to featuring musical entertainment, art, and culture,
the festival will be enlivened by a display of various culinary
delicacies, which are all created by taking into account the Indonesian
nuances.
The programs, to be held as part of the Sanur Village Festival,
will also showcase the spirit of state unity and nationalism in the form
of symbols, images, and messages in line with this context.
"The people visiting the festival can hopefully become an integral part of this awakening process," he noted.(WDY)
