Central Java, one of the provinces in Indonesia, has diverse culture which is potential to be worldwide heritage. It must be still preserved from the influences of globalization and acculturation. If it doesn't restrain its own identity, it will be extinct. The next generation will not recognize his/ her own culture. It's a calamity if one generation does not have his/ her own culture which is able to show his/her own identity. It's crucial to empower the local society in this case the young generation to learn and preserve his/ her own culture.
