Voice Out Kota Kinabalu 2014 in collaboration with YouthPREP Centre Alamesra (YPC) and Partners of Community Organizations in Sabah ( PACOS Trust )

About the theme

We chose Rise and Rediscover as our theme to celebrate youths and their cultural identity. Sabah is made up of 33 indegenous groups that communicate over 50 languages and 80 ethnic dialects. Sadly, many young people do not know and lost touch of their cultural identity. Among the aspects of culture and identity are language, food, sport, music, customs, beliefs and costumes and the causes of this loss are globalization, modern culture, cultural identity is not taught much in schools, many do not care or have no interest. Another thing that adds to the loss of cultural identity, is that many parents did not pass down the cultural and traditional knowledge to their children.

Voice Out provides an avenue to pass down these knowledge to the younger generation. Through this theme, we hope to create awareness among young people to preserve and be proud of their cultural heritage by portraying the beauty of our cultural traditions through the many areas of art and music that will be showcased during Voice Out.
