This activity was not only a place to introduce JDIH as a digital platform that provides legal information easily and quickly, but also presented Zumba exercises with Zumba Instructor (ZIN) Darren, which invited the enthusiasm of visitors.

The lively atmosphere and cheerful crowd highlighted the success of the event. Sanggita (21), one of the enthusiastic participants, shared, "This is my first time attending an event like this, so it's really exciting! I got knowledge about the law, can join Zumba gymnastics, and there are still attractive prizes too. I didn't expect legal education to be this fun!," she said with a smile.

 Legal Education in the Digital Age, Kinkil Sultanul Hakim, Secretary of the Regional Representative Council (DPRD) of Surakarta city, who was also present, conveyed the importance of increasing legal literacy in the community.

"The socialization of JDIH is a strategic step to bring the public closer to legal information, especially Regional Regulations (Perda) issued by the DPRD and Surakarta City Government. We hope that through this platform, the public can access legal information more easily and transparently," said Kinkin.

JDIH is designed as a practical solution for the public to download relevant legal documents, metadata and abstracts. This step is a commitment  of Surakarta City Council in supporting public information disclosure.

The event was made even more lively by the distribution of exclusive merchandise, such as eco-friendly tumblers, for visitors who participated in Zumba exercises. To get the prizes, participants had to follow JDIH's social media accounts, tag their posts, and support Setwan's digital platform on Tiktok.   

 

  "I didn't expect a legal education event to be this fun! Participating in Zumba, learning about JDIH, and getting a cool tumbler just by following social media. It was really fun!," Latifah (21).

" Maybe I will never learn about local regulations as fun as this! After joining the gymnastics, I immediately got information about JDIH which is easy to access. Plus I got tumbler too, it was really fun!," Caca (20).

Setwan hopes that activities like this can continue and have a positive impact on increasing public legal awareness. By utilizing digital platforms, it is hoped that legal information can reach more people and help realize a more law-savvy society. 

Through a creative and inclusive approach, Setwan DPRD Surakarta City Council succeeded in proving that legal literacy can be packaged attratively without losing its essence. The socialization of JDIH is clear evidence that legal education and entertainment can go hand in hand.
