BINUS University is dedicated to the recording and preservation of intangible cultural heritage, encompassing local folklore, traditions, language, and knowledge. The following initiatives exemplify the university’s commitment to these objectives:

  1. BeeLintang: This ensemble comprises employees, faculty, students, and alumni of BINUS who perform kolintang music. Through BeeLintang, BINUS not only provides aesthetic enjoyment through the exquisite melodies of kolintang but also plays a significant role in preserving Nusantara culture, particularly this traditional art form, which features a percussion instrument originating from Minahasa.
  2. Automated Angklung: This initiative aims to safeguard the angklung, a traditional musical instrument from West Java that was recognized by UNESCO in 2010 as part of the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The program seeks to educate younger generations about the importance of preserving traditional musical instruments while promoting technological advancements.
  3. BESTARI BIPA:This program offers instruction in Indonesian for Speakers of Other Languages (BIPA), organized by BINUS. It actively supports the preservation of the Indonesian language and culture on a global scale, reaching participants from 45 countries.
