Kahforward Successfully Initiates “Langkah Berdampak” Movement with Indonesian Youth
Less than a week after Kahforward took place at Indonesia Arena, Senayan, Jakarta, the various main events have successfully made a “Langkah Berdampak” (meaningful impact). Held over two days, Kahforward has successfully inspired, motivated, and created change together with more than 25,000 participants from all over Indonesia. By carrying four main pillars: Invention, Technology, Community & Brotherhood, and Better Lifestyle, Kahforward has successfully ignited the spirit of the younger generation to dare to take concrete steps in creating a positive impact, both for themselves, society, and the world.
One of the main attractions of Kahforward was the talkshow sessions filled with inspirational figures from both national and international levels. The session “Begin the Purposeful Journey” with Khabib Nurmagomedov and the session “Begin with Saying ‘YES’ to Challenge” filled by Ammar Kandil received extraordinary attention from the participants. Khabib shared a message about the importance of meaning in every journey of life, with his inspiring quote: “When you are famous/become a champion, you must have religion in your heart. I always strive for myself every day. Without surrendering to Allah, nothing can be achieved, your path is not smooth. Because knowledge, money, winning, fame, it’s not from us, it’s from Allah,” said Khabib Nurmagomedov at the “Begin the Purposeful Journey” session of Kahforward.
In addition, Ammar Kandil from Yes Theory, Santo Suruh, and Raditya Dika also received widespread attention. They discussed the importance of daring to accept challenges as the first step towards change. Ammar Kandil reminded that: “When we step out of our comfort zone, we manage to uncover a lot of things. By fighting fears and ‘seeking discomfort’ we can see many unique things, including how people there live and struggle. Take the smallest and easiest step to start. Because seeking discomfort can become your comfort,” said Ammar Kandil in the “Begin with Saying ‘YES’ to Challenge” session of Kahforward.
The session “Begin to Question” with Gita Wirjawan, Bagus Muljadi, Salman Subakat, and Sabrang MD Panuluh successfully invited participants to question and delve into their life goals, while the session “Begin with Knowledge, End with Impact” with Clash of Champion Ruangguru received high enthusiasm, where fans could cheer with the Clash of Champion participants in solving problems together.
In addition to talkshows, there were also workshops at Kahforward that provided memorable experiences for participants. The workshop “Unlimited & Adaptive Creativity” by Muzammil Hasballah from Taubatters, the session “Adaptive Personal Branding” by Fardi Yandi from Cretivox, and the Kahf Fragrance Workshop guided by Mane Perfumery and Kahf became some of the most popular workshops. All of these workshops provide practical knowledge that can be directly applied in everyday life.
Deliang Al-Farabi, one of the speakers at Kahforward, also delivered his inspiring message: “Don’t stop chasing your dreams. Anything can happen if you don’t give up,”. Likewise, the Pandawara Group, which invites young people to care about the environment: “It is important for young people to be able to mobilize the community to be able to work together to improve the earth.”
Not only that, Kahforward has managed to involve more than 500 communities in the movement to create a Langkah Berdampak. The support and collaboration of various communities is an important part of expanding the reach of the positive impact that Kahforward wants to achieve. At the Kahforward event, there were also various kinds of entertainment such as Immersive and Art Installation, Basketball Competition with IBL, Kids Zone with Biodef, Grounding Zone with Earth Love Life, Women Zone at House of W, Gen Z Zone with Cretivox, Progressive Muslim with Taubatters, and many more.
“Together with more than 25,000 Kahfbro and Kahfsis who attended, Kahf initiated ‘Langkah Berdampak’ to create a positive impact. The success of Kahforward ‘Langkah Berdampak’ this year is the first step in Kahf’s big vision to continue encouraging the Indonesian younger generation to dare to act and create change. Kahforward will return with a bigger and more impactful program in the coming years, carrying a mission to provide inspiration and real action for a better future,” concluded Billy Dharmawan, Brand Manager of Kahf.
