Writings, speech, objects, and ideas, the ancestral heritage is cared for, lived, and celebrated so that its existence is maintained by studying, understanding, and living it according to the context of the times.
By November 2021, the SENADI Foundation has supported the PDN community's efforts to revive the Nusantara civilization, which is contextual to the needs of the times, through online webinar discussions. Hoping for the significant role of the national young next generation in creating a happy, wise, full of love, and collaborative world society that is, PDN has officially become one of the SENADI Foundation programs since March 2022. Diverse in one soul, working together without perplexity in interpreting the truth.
