why youth? Youth should become the most important member of community in this world that became a key of success of regeneration process But The fact is: Today in Indonesia, Youth are member that mostly affected by audiovisual media (film and television) that encourage them to build dreams that are not realistic, distancing them from their actual environment, effacing their sensitivity and attachment to the community and in the end, rendering them POWERLESS
Kampung Halaman has been developed video community and video diary program at several communities, one of them is “Kami Bicara” “Kami Bicara” / (We Speak) is a program that aims to strengthen student’s role in pursuing transformation toward better school’s community and condition. “Kami Bicara” using VIDEO DIARY as a tool for student to communicate problems they experienced at school and BLOG as tools for student disseminate it.

Most of The Video Diaries discuss the issue of Dream School
