Building a Creative Environment: Collaboration Between Government and Creative Communities in Character Development
Abstract
The challenges of the digital era are pressing the government and the people of Bandung City to be prepared to face various issues. One way to address this is by strengthening 21st-century competencies, one of which is creativity. The Bandung City Government and the Bandung Creative City Forum (BCCF) community have taken on a strategic role in conducting character-building activities aimed at fostering creativity among the citizens of Bandung. This forms the basis for this research, which aims to understand the process of creative character development among Bandung's citizens in the digital era as part of fulfilling 21st-century competencies. This research employs a qualitative approach through a case study. Data was collected through interviews, observations, documentation, and literature review. The findings of this research indicate that the creative character development programs carried out by the Bandung City Government and its collaborative components are implemented using a bottom-up approach by BCCF and a top-down approach by the Bandung City Department of Tourism and Culture.
