“We modified Lutung Kasarung’s story by telling his adventures on freeing the ‘Kopid Kingdom’ from the COVID-19 plague. Hopefully children will be more interested in learning about COVID-19 as well as processing the message through the video,” Nabila said in a statement.

Three students from the University of Indonesia’s School of Public Health (FKM UI) created a fantasy animation to increase COVID-19 awareness among children.
The animation, which is a retelling of West Java folk tale "Lutung Kasarung", was developed by Amellia, Raden Nurilma Hidayatullah and Nabila Anindya Uka Wardani under the supervision of their lecturer, Aisyah Putri Mayangsari.
“We modified Lutung Kasarung’s story by telling his adventures on freeing the ‘Kopid Kingdom’ from the COVID-19 plague. Hopefully children will be more interested in learning about COVID-19 as well as processing the message through the video,” Nabila said in a statement.
The animation was screened virtually during a community service program entitled “Introducing COVID-19 prevention to children through Lutung Kasarung animation”, which took place from Nov. 9 to 16 and was participated in by 725 students from SD Anyelir 1 state elementary school in Depok, West Java.
Nabila also said the animation contained COVID-19 related information, such as how it was transmitted, how to detect the disease, as well as transmission prevention measures.
