The excitement is building in Palembang as the first-ever TEDxKambangIwak event approaches on August 24, 2024. This landmark occasion, which will bring together inspiring speakers and thought leaders, has garnered significant support from local radio stations, including RRI, Trax FM, Global Radio, and Play FM. These stations are playing a pivotal role in promoting the event, helping to spread the word to a wider audience across the city.
In the lead-up to the event, TEDxKambangIwak organizers have been given the opportunity to go on air, sharing insights about the upcoming talks, the mission of TEDx, and how it aims to create meaningful conversations within the community. These radio segments have not only highlighted the event itself but have also brought attention to the collaborative efforts behind it.
The on-air promotions have been enriched by the presence of collaboration partners like Girl Up Sriwijaya and Indonesian Youth and Diplomacy. Together with these partners, the TEDx team has been discussing themes such as Education, Science and Mathematics, and Business related to youth empowerment and global engagement—key topics that resonate with the core mission of TEDxKambangIwak. This event also supports the number of unemployment in Palembang to keep decreasing.
In February 2024, the labor market in South Sumatra, which includes Palembang, showed notable trends. The Open Unemployment Rate (Tingkat Pengangguran Terbuka, TPT) stood at 3.97%, reflecting a decrease of 0.56 percentage points from February 2023. At the same time, the Labor Force Participation Rate (Tingkat Partisipasi Angkatan Kerja, TPAK) was recorded at 69.88%, indicating that a substantial portion of the working-age population is actively engaged in the labor market, either through employment or by seeking work. These statistics suggest a positive shift in the employment landscape of the region.
Through these radio appearances, TEDxKambangIwak is reaching a broad audience, from students and professionals to community leaders, encouraging them to be part of this unique event. The support from Palembang’s radio stations such as RRI, Trax FM, Global Radio, and Play FM showcases the power of local media in driving positive change and making impactful events like TEDx accessible to everyone.
