Thus, Ayo Vote organized an event, named Dia.lo.gue, with the theme ?Mau Dibawa Kemana Indonesia 2014?. Ayo Vote becomes the pathway for teenagers to get close with the president candidates. This movement initiated by inviting Indonesia young teenagers to participate in the general legislative and presidential election which will take place this year.
According to Vika Kurnia, one of the event committee, Dia.lo.gue is inspired from a program in a program and Vika further added that currently Indonesia has many voters that are still in relatively young age; their votes hold considerable potential. Therefore, their participation in this year general election has become an important factor. Considering this situation, Ayo Vote facilitates the young generation so that they can ask and discuss directly with the president candidates so that their choices are based on a well perception and understanding toward the president. Moreover, their choices are also going to determine the future of Indonesia itself.
Dia.lo.gue at UPH began with a monologue with the title ?Andai aku jadi presiden? by Margareth, a student from SMA Santa Ursula.
