    Tanoto Foundation Contributes to Early Childhood Development by Supporting RPTRA Festival

    Early childhood education and development is a valuable investment for the future of a country. A nation of children who are ready to receive knowledge that will improve their quality of life leads to a nation of quality human resources who will undoubtedly contribute significantly to the development of the country.

    Taking this into account, Tanoto Foundation supports human capital development in Indonesia through its SIGAP program. SIGAP contributes to providing holistic care for children from an early age, including the development of their linguistic and cognitive abilities, as well as their socio-emotional and mental health.

    One aspect of child development is kinesthetic intelligence. According to Howard Gardner, a psychologist and researcher in child education and intelligence from Harvard University, kinesthetic intelligence is a child’s ability to process information easily through hand and body movement, control and expression.

    Developing this kinesthetic intelligence requires regular stimulation. Kinesthetic stimulation plays an important role in developing the overall potential of children’s intelligence levels, as the response shown by the child in moving the muscles of their body is the result of orders received from the central nervous system (brain).

    Among activities which contribute to kinesthetic stimulation in children are dancing, which trains their physical balance, muscle strength and flexibility. Another advantage of dancing is it builds up a child’s confidence and courage in performing and competing.

    As part of its ongoing commitment to help develop children’s intelligence, Tanoto Foundation is currently supporting the Gebyar RPTRA (Integrated Child Friendly Public Space) Festival in Jakarta.

    Hosted by the Jakarta government office, the RPTRA Festival aims to gather all RPTRAs in Jakarta, and comprises various children’s competitions including dancing, colouring, LEGO building, and futsal events.

    At the moment, Tanoto Foundation currently works with two RPTRA partners in Jakarta, namely Akasia and Bahari in South Jakarta.

  • Leadership program seeks to prepare younger generation for Industry 4.0

    Leadership program seeks to prepare younger generation for Industry 4.0

    The World Economic Forum predicted last year that 133 million new jobs would replace 75 million existing jobs in the next four years as the result of technological development. Hence it is crucial for Indonesia to develop human resources with relevant skills to face the challenges in Industry 4.0.

    A 2017 survey by the Tanoto Foundation, an independent philanthropic organization focusing on education, found that 20 percent of its scholars were still unemployed six months after they graduated. “We limited [the survey] to only six months because they’re supposed to get a job within that period,” said Satrijo Tanudjojo, CEO global of the Tanoto Foundation, during a leadership forum in Jakarta on July 3.

    Aiming to solve the problem, the organization established Teladan in 2018, a leadership development program in which scholars learn self-development, leadership and get an opportunity to gain global exposure. The program will recruit talented freshmen from its nine partner universities, among them are Brawijaya University in Malang, East Java; Andalas University in Padang, West Sumatra; and University of Indonesia in Depok, West Java.

    Tanoto Foundation holds TELADAN Leadership Forum to Develop Tanoto Scholars for Industry 4.0

    Themed ‘Future Skills for Future Leaders’, the forum saw the attendance of representatives from 40 national and global companies, with the keynote speaker being Mari Elka Pangestu, the Indonesian Minister of Trade from 2004 to 2011.

    “I believe education is the key in life, to equal opportunity and improving lives, and the biggest challenge is changing education to meet ever changing needs,”

    Mari Elka Pangestu.

    The World Economic Forum predicts that in the next four years, 75 million jobs will change and 133 million new jobs will emerge as a result of technological developments. Therefore, it is important to equip human resources with the right skills for Industry 4.0.

    As a philanthropic organization with a focus on education, Tanoto Foundation has taken this into account and is helping to build future leaders of Indonesia with these skills, with its TELADAN program.

    As part of TELADAN, Tanoto Scholars receive a variety of tiered training, beginning from their first year of university to graduation, up to when they enter the workforce.

    TELADAN focuses on building and improving nine traits: self-awareness, drive, integrity, grit, innovation, continuous learning, care for others, empowering others and entrepreneurial spirit.

    “These nine characteristics that Tanoto Scholars are building up are very good. So now it’s a matter of how we scale up this program to the wider community,”

    Mari  Elka Pangestu

    Meanwhile, Satrijo Tanudjojo, Global CEO of Tanoto Foundation, emphasised that the Foundation is fully committed to developing human development in Indonesia.

    “Tanoto Foundation programs touch the formative part of human life, children who are zero years of age to their productive age. We support early childhood development so that they are SIGAP (ready and able to take action), become PINTAR (smart), and go on to become leaders who can be TELADAN (role models) within their communities and surroundings,”

    Satrijo Tanudjojo.

    SIGAP is a Tanoto Foundation program which supports early childhood education and development, while PINTAR supports improvement of the quality of basic education in Indonesia, with a focus on improving teacher quality, school leadership, and community participation.
