Dream - The 2023 National Level Pioneer Youth Selection Event, organized by the Deputy for Youth Development of the Ministry of Youth and Sports (Kemenpora), officially ended on Wednesday, October 18, 2023. Held at the Ballroom Hotel Ciputra, Jakarta, the Grand Final of the National Level Pioneer Youth was held concurrently with the Grand Final of the Inspiring and Achieving Young Couples 2023.

In this Grand Final, a question and answer session was conducted and evaluated by the jury to determine the champions. Deputy 2 of Youth Development at the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Raden Isnanta, then concluded the series of activities. "Alhamdulillah, we have completed a long process of selecting pioneering youth and also inspiring young couples. It has been a long process from regional selection, selection with a large number of participants, narrowing down to the grand final, and now it has just ended. Who is the best among the best, until the hopeful champion," explained Deputy Isnanta.

"After returning to their respective hometowns, they must certainly be able to be role models and inspirations for other youths. 'Being pioneers who are even more pioneering, so that youth development truly continues to progress,' emphasized Deputy Isnanta."

Kemenpora, call Deputy, will continue to monitor the movements and roles of all these young people. Ensuring that what is achieved can be beneficial for the environment of the province or district/city where they live. In this case, Kemenpora is looking forward to the contribution of these young people at the national level. "Earlier, I heard many awards that have been obtained from other ministries. We also certainly hope that they will have a role internationally. So that this work and effort truly becomes an expansion at the national and international levels," Deputy Isnanta hopes.

"We are really looking forward to it. You are still young, which means there is still time to do better for the future of the Republic of Indonesia," he added. It is known that this Inspirational and Achieving Young Couple Election activity is organized by the Ministry of Youth and Sports as part of the Youth Month series."

The selection of Inspiring and Achieving Young Couples in 2023 is the result of online selection and regional selection by the Youth Affairs Department. From the selection process, a total of 30 young couples were selected as finalists, who then narrowed down and entered the Grand Final round.

"Meanwhile, the National Pioneer Youth Selection is one of the flagship programs of the Ministry of Youth and Sports that prioritizes the independence of young people. To realize capable, characterful, and competitive youth. The selection process, starting from the acceptance of documents, has been ongoing since June 2023, with a total of 108 participants from 26 provinces."

"Furthermore, administrative selection will be carried out until 60 candidates for the National Pioneer Youth are determined, selected from 26 provinces, divided into five fields. The National Pioneer Youth Selection judging activity at Hotel Ciputra then produced the top three youths in each field, with a total of 15 participants advancing to the Grand Final round and the determination of the champion."
