What’s Jakarta Moral Movement?
Jakarta Moral Movement is our humble effort to redefine and discuss morality as well as taking a look at youth-related behavioral issues, together with Jakarta’s young generation. From this movement we hope we can instill a clear sense of morality into Jakarta’s young generation and inspire them to do things in order to make their society a better place to live in.
Throughout this year, from the end of April until December, we’re going to conduct a series of events ranging from performances to seminars, all in line with our goals and hopes we stated before.
#HaveYouBeenNiceToday? is our tagline. It represents our desire to start this movement by taking the first look at yourself and how you behave. Because we believe the smallest thing, as in making sure you make others feel nice: smiling, saying thank you and greeting them properly, can make a major change in the way we interact, and develops our attitude nicely in terms of morality.
This project is an implementation of Nadia Ismi Prameswary’s social project plans, taken up by LookAround Indonesia, a NGO focusing on social and youth matters, as their big project for this year.
What brings us to this cause?
Jakarta’s young generation is a group of people full of fresh ideas, talent and thankfully, the will to act. The generation has the potential to take Jakarta to greater heights as a city as well as a society, but in doing so, they need some clear paths to follow and the correct attitude to match. Morality and social norms become a relevant standard to build both those paths and attitude, and the responsibility lies upon the generation itself, to reeducate themselves about these things and check upon their behavior in order to ensure they’re ready to make their society a better place. As a part of the generation, we’re taking the initiative to do this. Not because we think we are better in ways of morality than others in our generation, but because we feel that we need to make each of ourselves a better human being, and we need to fulfill a debt we owe ourselves as a generation.

Through this, we hope we can pave the way for a good moral sense in the even younger generation and ensure this movement will continue afterwards.
Target and Reach
Throughout the length of our event, we’re hoping to get 1000 people in the age range of 5-25 to participate. And seeing how things are going, the prospect of reaching this number this is quite good. In terms of publicity and awareness, our social media networks have reached numbers as such: Our twitter account’s number of followers has once reached 2200 since its establishment in February. More than 1000 people have viewed our first teaser video on YouTube, and our Facebook posts is read by averagely 500 people each. Physical publication is also being done, as we’re spreading our posters and flyer to numerous places in Jakarta and once conducted a publicity stunt (flashmob) in eX Plaza Indonesia with help of our media partner.
