ABC Kids Kindergarten is excited to celebrate Kartini Day on April 26, 2024. This special day honors Raden Ajeng Kartini, a pioneer in the women’s emancipation movement in Indonesia. The event aims to instill the values of equality and education among young students, inspired by Kartini’s legacy.
The event began with excitement and anticipation as children, teachers, and parents gathered to witness the parade. The young participants, brimming with enthusiasm, showcased a stunning array of traditional costumes from various regions of Indonesia. Each costume told a story, highlighting the unique cultural elements and history of its place of origin.
The competition was judged based on three main criteria: confidence, best costume, and body movement. The judges had the challenging task of evaluating each child’s performance. Confidence was a key factor, as the judges looked for children who walked with poise and self-assurance. The best costume category focused on traditional attire’s authenticity, intricacy, and visual appeal. Lastly, body movement assessed on how well the children carried themselves, engaging the audience with their charm and grace.
Following the parade, the atmosphere was filled with anticipation as the judges deliberated. The event concluded with a heartfelt rendition of the Kartini song, sung by all the students. The song, echoing the values of equality and empowerment championed by Kartini, was a fitting tribute to the day’s celebrations.
Finally, the moment everyone was waiting for arrived! The judges announced the winners, who were met with applause and cheers from the audience. Each winner received a trophy and a small prize.
The Kartini Day celebration at ABC Kids Kindergarten was more than just a competition, it was an educational and cultural experience that brought the community together. ABC Kids looks forward to continuing this tradition, celebrating the rich cultural diversity and the principles of equality that Kartini so passionately advocated for. Happy Kartini Day, everyone!
