Ethnic Resilience of East Kalimantan Amidst the Relocation of the Nation's Capital for Learning Media

Abstract

The relocation of the national capital brings forth both challenges and opportunities, particularly in raising awareness about cultural diversity and its preservation amid urban development. Integrating this knowledge into civics learning media serves as a means to cultivate cultural identity, foster respect for diversity, and instill civic responsibilities. Strategies for successful integration encompass the creation of multimedia materials that showcase local traditions, interactive activities promoting cultural exchange, and active community involvement. This article delves into the concept of cultural resilience as a key strategy to preserve ethnic culture during the national capital relocation, with a specific focus on East Kalimantan. The objective is to incorporate ethnic and cultural values into civics learning media, thereby nurturing cultural appreciation and understanding among students. Employing an ethnocultural exploration approach, qualitative methods such as interviews, observations, and document analysis unveil the deep-rooted traditions, languages, arts, and customs in East Kalimantan. These efforts empower students to both preserve and promote their ethnic heritage, thereby fostering cultural resilience. In conclusion, cultural resilience emerges as a vital aspect in the face of urbanization and national capital relocation. By integrating East Kalimantan's ethnic culture into civics learning media, students not only develop pride but also gain a profound appreciation for diversity, ensuring the preservation of this rich heritage for future generations.
