WISE SOCIAL MEDIA USE: MAINTAINING PERSONAL IDENTITY AND NATIONALISM SPIRIT ABROAD
No full textIn today’s digital era, social media plays a central role in daily life, including for Indonesian migrant workers abroad. However, many of them lack sufficient understanding of the ethical implications of their online activities. Unintentionally, they may share content that reinforces negative stereotypes or harms their personal image and Indonesia’s reputation. This underscores the urgent need for digital literacy that promotes not only technical skills but also ethical awareness and national values. To address this, the program "Wise Use of Social Media: Maintaining Personal Identity and Nationalism Abroad" aims to educate Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia on ethical social media usage, build a sense of nationalism, and prevent the spread of harmful content. The program focuses not just on information delivery but also on changing participants’ attitudes and behaviors in digital spaces. Conducted in a one-day session, the program includes training on digital literacy, social media ethics, and nationalism, guided by students and experienced practitioners. Participant understanding is assessed through questionnaires at the end of the program. Expected outcomes include improved awareness of responsible online behavior, a decrease in negative posts, and strengthened nationalism reflected through digital engagement. Additionally, this initiative aligns with the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) policy by offering students hands-on learning opportunities. It also encourages the publication of academic research and the development of appropriate digital tools for migrant communities. Ultimately, this program aspires to empower migrant workers to become responsible digital citizens and foster a global online community that upholds and promotes Indonesian values
TRAIN THE ART OF KUFI WRITING ON CANVAS MEDIA AS AN ONE IDEA FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP
No full textEntrepreneurship is a dynamic field that often demands a combination of creativity, innovation, and practical skills. These skills can be effectively nurtured through well-designed and targeted training programs. This study focuses on the integration of artistic practice with entrepreneurial development, using Kufi painting—a traditional form of Islamic geometric calligraphy—as a training medium. Kufi painting not only requires a deep aesthetic sense but also involves precise technical execution, making it a compelling tool for fostering both artistic and business competencies. The community service specifically targets micro, small, and medium enterprises (UMKM) in Tangerang, aiming to enhance their capacity for creative entrepreneurship. Through hands-on workshops, participants are introduced to canvas-based Kufi painting techniques, equipping them with applicable skills for producing marketable art. The initiative emphasizes the potential of cultural art forms as viable economic resources. Initial findings indicate that this approach effectively supports local entrepreneurs by stimulating creativity and opening new avenues for income generation
EDUCATION, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND DIGITIZATION: A MALAYSIAN PERSPECTIVE
No full textThe convergence of education, digitization, and community engagement is transforming how societies address sustainability, particularly in the context of rapid technological advancement and disruptive global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This research explores the evolving role of universities and communities in Malaysia in fostering sustainable development through digital technology, inclusive education, and grassroots participation. By analyzing case studies and initiatives—including social enterprises like Arus Academy and Biji-biji Initiative, rural digitization efforts like Digital Desa, and national programs such as eRezeki—the paper demonstrates how digital tools empower marginalized groups, support community-driven environmental action, and bridge the urban-rural divide. It highlights how digital platforms enable co-creation of value, promote entrepreneurship, and catalyze heritage preservation through AR/VR technologies. Furthermore, it emphasizes that education is not merely theoretical but a driver of real-world impact, particularly when combined with community involvement and digital literacy. The findings underline the need for inclusive, experiential, and context-sensitive educational frameworks that embed sustainability and engagement into curricula. Ultimately, this study positions education, community engagement, and digitization as interdependent pillars for building resilient, equitable, and sustainable societies, calling for collaborative action from all societal sectors to ensure long-term impact
BRIEF PSYCHOEDUCATION ON SELF-COMPASSION: A PATHWAY TO PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING AMONG MIGRANT LABORERS IN PENANG (MALAYSIA)
No full textMigrant workers, especially laborers, experience quite complex problems, such as exploitation, health problems, discrimination, intense stress, and legal uncertainty. In particular, psychologically they have poor mental health and low well-being. These problems are also experienced by Indonesian or Indonesian-descended migrants in Penang, Malaysia. This study aims to test the effectiveness of a short psychological education program on self-compassion in improving psychological well-being among migrant workers in Penang, Malaysia. Using a quasi-experimental design with one-group post-test-only design, 46 participants underwent a two-hour psychological education session that combined lectures, interactive games, and group discussions. Participants were evaluated using the Indonesian version of the Self-Compassion Scale and the Psychological Well-Being Scale. Descriptive analysis showed that 91.3% of participants scored in the moderate to high self-compassion category. Spearman's rho test showed a significant positive correlation between self-compassion and psychological well-being (ρ = 0.256, p < 0.05). These findings suggest that even a brief intervention can increase awareness of self-compassion and support emotional resilience in a vulnerable population. The program was well received, with participants demonstrating strong emotional engagement and reporting a deeper understanding of how to care for themselves mentally. This study highlights the importance of accessible, culturally sensitive mental health interventions for migrant workers, and emphasizes self-compassion as a practical strategy to support their psychological well-being
STRENGTHENING BUSINESS LEGALITY THROUGH SOCIALIZATION AND ASSISTANCE OF BUSINESS IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (NIB) FOR BUSINESS ACTORS IN MENTENG DALAM VILLAGE, SOUTH JAKARTA
No full textThis community service activity aims to strengthen the legality of MSME businesses in Menteng Dalam Village, South Jakarta through socialization and assistance in making Business Identification Numbers (NIB). The problems faced by partners are the lack of administrative and digital literacy, limited understanding of the benefits of NIB, and the assumption that the management of business licenses through Online Single Submission (OSS) is complicated and time-consuming. The method of the activity is carried out through discussion of partner needs, pre-test, training, NIB registration assistance, post-test, and evaluation. The results of the activity showed that of the 10 food and beverage business actors who participated in the program, five successfully completed registration and obtained NIB, while the other five were technically constrained because the Population Identification Number (NIK) had been registered in the OSS system even though the participants had never registered before. Pre-test and post-test evaluations showed an increase in the average understanding of participants from 51% to 88%, with the largest increase in the aspects of understanding NIB benefits and motivation to register. This activity proves that socialization and direct assistance are effective in increasing legal awareness, digital skills, and motivation of business actors to legalize their businesses. In the future, more intensive cooperation with relevant agencies is needed so that administrative obstacles can be resolved, as well as the expansion of programs to other business sectors in the Menteng Dalam area
INCREASING BUSINESS ACTOR KNOWLEDGE THROUGH FOOD LABEL EDUCATION AS A STRATEGY TO INCREASE PRODUCT COMPETITIVENESS
No full textThis activity aims to educate MSMEs about food labels as a way to increase product competitiveness. Food labels play a role not only as product identity but also as a producer's responsibility to consumers. The activity was held on Thursday, August 7, 2025, at the Flamboyan RPTRA, attended by 15 food and beverage business actors. The activity began with a pre-test, material presentation, group discussion, and evaluation in the form of a post-test. From the pre-test, it was apparent that most participants still considered food labels merely decorative on packaging, without understanding their informative function. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in participants' understanding. In terms of knowledge, this activity also had an impact on participants' awareness of the strategic value of food labels in strengthening product competitiveness. Participants realized that labels are not only a regulatory obligation but also a branding strategy that can improve image and consumer trust
SHIFTING PARADIGMS: FROM WASTE AS COST CENTER TO PROFIT CENTER: PROCESSING WASTE INTO PLANTING MEDIA IN MENTENG DALAM VILLAGE, TEBET DISTRICT, CENTRAL JAKARTA
No full textChanging the paradigm of waste from Cost to Profit Center through the practice of making planting media. Partners are the Flamboyan and Rasamala Child-Friendly Integrated Public Space Waste Banks, Menteng Dalam Village. There is residual organic and inorganic waste that is not collected and processed. Observations with the Village Head and partners found problems: (a) limited knowledge and skills in recognizing types of waste; (b) partners are not yet able to handle expired yeast, which must be handled like Toxic and Hazardous Materials waste. The solution to the problem is education to introduce various types of waste, and education to introduce the risks of danger and handling of yeast. The activity was carried out in May and August 2025. These methods used a qualitative approach with a cross-country comparative study design. The results show three challenges: (a) limited conceptual understanding, (2) minimal structural and policy support. Although waste bank managers in both countries show awareness of the importance of the waste paradigm as a profit center, its implementation faces obstacles regarding infrastructure, professional training, and technological resources. A contextual and reflective approach is needed to develop waste policies and programs that can be implemented locally
INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION ON DISASTER RISK REDUCTION THROUGH INCIDENT COMMAND SYSTEM (ICS) WORKSHOP
No full textThe community service aims to increase people’s knowledge of disaster risk reduction and introduce standardized procedures for responding to emergency situations, such as a fire. A collaborative project was conducted by the Chiba Institute of Science (CIS) in Japan, the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) in Indonesia, and the Budi Luhur University (UBL) in Indonesia. This is not the first time the three parties have conducted a program together. This year, the collaborators improved many aspects, particularly the use of ICS in drills and the simulation of disaster areas. In addition to the two new components of the regular training, two new topics were added to enrich the discussion and discourse, as UBL’s strength lies in information technology. The program was designed to provide benefits to UBL's internal stakeholders (lecturers, staff, and students), as well as its partners, such as Budi Luhur High School students. Around 100 participants joined and showed optimism. The results show a positive response to the knowledge received, especially regarding the success of conducting the standardized drill without significant obstacles. Regularly organized trainings are imperative to preserving knowledge about disaster risk reduction and to prompting proper responses and procedural measures during emergency and crisis situations
DIGITAL STORYTELLING AS A COMMUNICATION COMPETENCY AND CREATIVE SKILL ON SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS
No full textSocial media has become the primary platform for high school students to interact, develop creativity, and enhance communication skills. One effective method that can be utilized is digital storytelling a form of storytelling that uses digital technology by combining text, images, sound, and video. Digital storytelling consists of three main elements: narrative, digital media, and audience engagement. In South Tangerang, the high usage of social media among students has not been matched by adequate understanding of how to create engaging content, apply effective storytelling techniques, or adhere to digital media ethics. The main problems include a lack of understanding of the digital storytelling concept, limited technical skills in content production, low awareness of digital ethics, and minimal guidance in content development. The urgency of this Community Service Program lies in the fact that social media has become an inseparable part of high school students' lives, serving as their primary means of interaction, expression, and creativity. However, the high consumption of digital media is not balanced by sufficient knowledge of digital storytelling techniques, compelling content creation, or ethical considerations in using social media. Students tend to be passive consumers or are exposed to less educational content, without possessing the skills to create persuasive and informative narratives. Therefore, an educational intervention is needed to equip students with digital storytelling skills, so they can produce engaging, meaningful, and responsible content. To address these challenges, a digital storytelling skills development program for high school students is essential. This program aims to equip them with storytelling techniques, foster creativity and communication, enhance digital literacy, and encourage productive use of social media. The proposed solutions include conceptual workshops, technical skills training, digital ethics education, optimizing social media for educational purposes, and mentoring in content production. The expected outcomes of this program are an increase in competitiveness and the application of science and technology in society, particularly among high school students in South Tangerang City. Through this program, students are expected to become more creative in communication and capable of producing valuable and responsible digital content, thus becoming wise and innovative content creators in the digital era
TURKEY'S INTEREST AS A MEDIATOR IN THE RUSSIA-UKRAINE CONFLICT IN MAINTAINING SOUTHEAST EUROPEAN REGIONAL SECURITY STABILITY
No full textThis research analyzes Turkey's mediation role in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, focusing on its fundamental interest in maintaining regional security stability in Southeastern Europe. Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 drastically transformed the Black Sea Regional Security Complex (RSC) into a zone of confrontation, creating direct military, economic, and social threats to Turkey's national security. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical method with the framework of Regional Security Complex Theory (RSCT) and Conflict Resolution Theory, this study examines how Turkey responded to the crisis. The analysis reveals that Turkey's mediation role is not a passive neutrality policy, but an active and rational conflict management strategy. By leveraging its unique position as a NATO member that maintains dialogue with both Russia and Ukraine, Turkey implemented a series of tiered mediation interventions: political (negotiations in Istanbul), functional (the Black Sea Grain Initiative), and humanitarian (prisoner of war exchanges). These actions successfully de-securitized key threats and managed the patterns of enmity within the RSC. This study concludes that Turkey's role as a mediator is a manifestation of its national interest in preventing the collapse of the regional order, which directly ensures its own security and stability
