The spirit of literacy is also encouraged by Hutri Agustino, a lecturer of Social Welfare Study Program of FISIP. Upon his return from University of Trento Italy through Erasmus Mundus scholarship program, Hutri's anxiety about the spirit of literacy is increased.
Around 2015-2016, Hutri realized the idea to use a little place near the house to be built a simple library of the bamboo nuance with his capital of 1000 personal book collection.
"Initially, I just thought that I had a book and I opened the library. However, when the library was opened, public attention was so extraordinary. Some of them want a private lessons, places of empowerment, etc. Finally, I feel the space capacity is not enough to adequately all activities," he said.
Therefore, Hutri also added home page to expand the library and accommodate about 100 people with the name Pondok Sinau Lentera Anak Nusantara. He hopes that more and more people will come and be aware of the importance of literacy. Pondok Sinau Lentera Anak Nusantara also took him to find another literacy forum in Malang.
At the end of 2017, it was formed an organization called Reading Interest Socialization Movement (GPMB) in Malang regency where Hutri was given a mandate to be a leader during the period 2018-2022. Through this organization, Hutri began to realize that literacy activist in Malang is also high and have a lot of devotees.
"A few months after becoming chairman, I made observations and small observations. It was not only in Malang Regency that the phenomenon of reading interest appeared in the community. This is booming especially in Education City like Malang," he said.
From here, Hutri initiated a Soft Literacy School launching on Wednesday (25/7) yesterday at Gazebo Literasi, Dau. For the Grand Launching, it will be held in August with the theme of Literasi Independence and Pancasila.
"The initial target is indeed literacy activists can be a read, library and literacy ambassadors. When their level has been completed, those who are in charge of sowing that understanding in their respective communities," he said.
At the end, Hutri said that he wanted to make this literacy community as a tool for empowering people with different models, based on literacy movement.
"At least, organizing the community, educating, changing the mindset that has been happened. Make them have more directional life," he concluded.
