One of the Facebook Community Accelerator’s last cohort finalists from Indonesia Peri Kertas Nusantara Community launched their development plan projects and shared 2,000 free papercraft kits to celebrate Indonesia’s 77th Independence Day Celebrations.
Peri Kertas educates and promotes Indonesian culture through 3D model artwork. In this first phase, they serve up to 10 provinces in Indonesia: DKI Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, Yogyakarta, Bali, South Sulawesi, North Sulawesi, Papua, East Kalimantan, and NTT.
Every package of the papercraft consists of landmarks, traditional closets, and traditional houses (rumah adat) from each of the provinces that can be crafted into a diorama. This series also includes information about the cultures of every papercraft they crafted.
Peri Kertas Community is the biggest papercraft community in Indonesia, with more than 20,000 spread across 43 different regions all over Indonesia. Nusantara Papercraft Kit was one of the community’s initiatives in this region.

Last year this Paper Craft Community was selected as one of the top 19 finalists of the Facebook Community Accelerator in the APAC region launched by Meta and run by e27 as the accelerator partner from 2020 to 2022. The program offers selected community leaders worldwide to turn their impactful ideas into action.
Peri Kertas’ launch event at Trans Studio Mall, Cibubur, on 17 Aug 2022 was patronised by the representatives from the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, The Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology, Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs, Jakarta Library, Nusantara Nature School, RWYC (Reconnecting With Your Culture) Indonesia, and e27.
At the event, the attendees shared how papercrafts are impactful not only in promoting Indonesian culture but also in how creative economics can bring business values to the Indonesian economy. Based on the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy’s records, shared from the Kominfo page in 2019, the creative economy sub-sector of Indonesia contributed 7.3 per cent of the total Indonesian GDP in 2019.
Moving forward
A community cannot exist without collaboration. While each of the communities come with their own unique vision and mission. We start to see more and more exciting community collaborations that will happen not only between one community with each other but also between governments and corporations, spreading from one region to also across regions as well.
