The Youth Pledge was implemented for the first time on October 28 1928 and was a turning point from the colonialism that occurred in Indonesia to a fighting spirit to unite the nation.
The Youth Pledge is a momentum that indicates that in 1928, Indonesia was still under Dutch colonial rule. Feeling shocked, 100 young people from organizations in Jakarta such as Jong Java, Jong Sumatra, and so on gathered and discussed the Second Youth Congress, the aim was clearly to convey the aspirations of the community regarding the Indonesian youth movement.
The results of the discussions at the Second Youth Congress created 3 Youth Pledges, namely:
- We, the Sons and Daughters of Indonesia, claim to share one blood, the Indonesian homeland.
- We, the Sons and Daughters of Indonesia, claim to be one nation, the Indonesian nation.
- We, Sons and Daughters of Indonesia, uphold the language of unity, Indonesian.
Since the creation of these three points, the Youth Pledge has been celebrated as a national day, namely every October 28.

Achieve all dreams
Doubt, shame, throw it away
We are young we believe
Fill your heart with love
Today, tomorrow we’ll make sure
