On 28 October 1928, young people from across the archipelago pledged one homeland, one nation and one language. The Youth Pledge, Sumpah Pemuda, helped carry Indonesia towards independence in 1945 and inspired the spirit behind the Asian-African Conference of 1955.

Do not just inherit the ashes of the Youth Pledge; inherit its fire.

- Ir. Soekarno

A century later

The centenary falls on 28 October 2028. GPID treats it as a deadline: 100 youth-led collaborations between Indonesian and global youth by that date. The generation of 1928 crossed regional lines; this one can cross national ones.

Menuju 100 Tahun Sumpah Pemuda!
