DPWK Undip was involved in the Creative Cities Forum organized by the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, represented by Dr.Ing Santy Paulla Dewi. This forum is a series of discussion activities to strengthen the creative cities network. Semarak Jejakk was held on May 19-21, 2023, at Oudetrap Building, Semarang Old City.
Creative economy development aims to achieve SDGs, especially the eighth goal; Decent Work and Economic Growth. This effort requires involvement from various stakeholders to strengthen the network between cities. Therefore, the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy conducted Semarak Jejakk to activate or reactivate creative cities in Indonesia so that creative economy actors enhance the connections.
This forum involves various parties from academics, community organizations, media represented by Suara Merdeka, and the private sector represented by the Semarang City Chamber of Commerce and Industry as a manifestation of the penta helix concept in tourism and economic development. Several agendas were discussed during the forum, such as the role of academics, community organizations, media, and private/industrial in supporting creative economy development. In addition, it also discussed the obstacles and ideas regarding the development of the creative economy.
