Jakarta
(ANTARA News) - Yogyakarta-based organization "Kampung Halaman",
which instructs youth on technical skills involved in video production and
instructs young filmmakers, received the President`s Council National Arts and
Humanities Youth Program Award as the international representative.
First Lady
Michelle Obama presented the award at a special White House ceremony, the US
embassy said on its website, Saturday.
Through
this year`s international honoree program, Youth Community Media Project,
students in Indonesia created their own videos to raise awareness around issues
like poverty, women?s rights, and the effects of natural disasters, the First
Lady said in her remarks at the President`s Council on Arts and Humanities
Youth Event.
"Every
day, with every lesson you teach, you remind our young people that their story
is part of the broader American story, and you show them how they, as artists,
can challenge our assumptions and help us view our world in new and very
unexpected ways. That is precisely what we are trying to do here at the White
House, as well," she said.
