“A great nation is a nation that respects its heroes” is a quote that inspires us to commemorate our National Heroes every November 10th. This year Harapan Bangsa Elementary School presents a cardboard puppet show with the title Java War or the Diponegoro war to commemorate this year’s Heroes Day.
The Diponegoro War or commonly called the Java war was a war that was able to raise the spirit of resistance against the colonialists at that time. The war that has claimed many victims at that time. It cost a lot so the VOC cash was drained only at that time and because this war took a long time, it took 5 years (1825-1830).
We use puppet media to make it easier for students to understand the events of the story at that time through puppet media. With wayang students will be interested in the shape of the color and students will be invited to make puppets. Besides that, to preserve the wayang culture, UNESCO has recognized the puppet as a product of a human culture that should be held. We use cardboard because it is easy to get and easy to recycle.
Harapan Bangsa School aims to educate and improve students’ skills in all areas of education. It’s time for Sekolah Harapan Bangsa Modernhill to recognize Heroes’ Day, especially “The Java War”.
