Pekan Pemuda dan Budaya PPGT or youth and culture is annual event that is routinely organized by ppgt or the youth fellowship of Toraja church region south sulawesi. Using TONGKONAN as a symbol minimalist but still detailed.

Tongkonan is the traditional ancestral house, or rumah adat of the Torajan people,
in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Tongkonan have a distinguishing boat-shaped and oversized saddleback roof.
Like most of Indonesia’s Austronesian-based traditional architecture tongkonan are built on piles.
The construction of tongkonan is laborious work and it is usually built with the help of all family members or friends.
In the original Toraja society, only nobles had the right to build tongkonan.
Commoners live in smaller and less decorated homes called banua.
