The Central Borneo Guide is committed to not only preserving the region’s natural beauty but also its rich cultural heritage. In line with this mission, the project has forged a partnership with Spirit of the Hornbill, a dance and music studio dedicated to revitalizing Dayak culture.
Together, these organizations are working to ensure that the traditions of Central Kalimantan are passed down to future generations. By offering accessible dance and music lessons to young people, Spirit of the Hornbill is cultivating a new generation of cultural ambassadors. Moreover, through workshops and training programs in remote villages, they are empowering local communities to become self-sufficient in preserving their cultural heritage.
The ultimate goal of this collaboration is to elevate Dayak culture to the global stage. By establishing dance studios in other regions and participating in international events, Spirit of the Hornbill aims to create a worldwide appreciation for the artistry and traditions of Central Kalimantan. This, in turn, will foster a sense of pride and ownership among the local people.
Ultimately, the partnership between Central Borneo Guide and Spirit of the Hornbill represents a holistic approach to sustainable development, recognizing that the preservation of culture is equally important as the protection of the environment.
