“Providing positive and productive spaces for self-expression is essential for young people so that they can stay away from the dangers of narcotics abuse. The development of the creative ecosystem is increasingly crucial, considering that the creative economy now serves as a new engine of national economic growth that can effectively protect and channel the potential of the younger generation,” said Teuku Riefky.
The Ministry of Creative Economy / Creative Economy Agency and the BNN are committed to strengthening collaboration in preventing and combating narcotics through research, human resource development, outreach activities at Creative Hubs, the development of educational content, and entrepreneurship programs for young people across the seven priority creative economy subsectors.
Youth involvement is considered key, as Generation Z and Millennials account for 63 percent of the workforce in the creative sector. Through productive spaces for creative expression, the creative economy is expected to help protect young people from narcotics abuse.
