Abstract

The lack of entrepreneurial skills among rural youth poses a challenge in creating local employment opportunities. The creative bouquet-making training serves as an effort to foster an entrepreneurial spirit and develop the creative economy at the local level. This activity was carried out in Dusun Lilin, Giri Tembesi Village, as a form of community service aimed at promoting the economic empowerment of young people in the digital era. The main objective of this program was to equip 20 youth participants with technical skills in bouquet arrangement, foster creativity, and introduce simple digital marketing strategies through social media. The implementation methods included observation, material delivery, hands-on practice, and simple evaluations through pretests and posttests. The results showed an 85% improvement in technical skills based on evaluation outcomes, along with increased participants’ confidence in producing aesthetically and economically valuable products. In addition, participants were able to understand business opportunities from the products they created and learned how to market them digitally. Thus, this activity not only strengthened individual skills but also had a positive impact on the sustainable development of the local creative economy.

Abstract

The development of the creative economy through training on converting used cooking oil waste into aromatherapy candles was conducted in Dusun Lilin, Giri Tembesi Village, from June 25 to August 9, 2025. This community service program was designed to enhance the ability of youth aged 12-22 to manage waste into economically valuable products through a training-based approach. The methods applied included observation, lectures, and hands-on practice involving 22 participants. The training program consisted of four main stages: 1) introduction to the program and the concept of the creative economy; 2) delivery of material regarding used cooking oil waste; 3) training in aromatherapy candle production; and 4) techniques for product packaging and marketing. Evaluation was conducted through direct observation of participants’ practical skills and interactive discussions to assess their understanding of the material and entrepreneurial interest. The results indicated that 85% of participants were able to understand the candle production process, 80% mastered basic packaging concepts, and 70% expressed interest in developing their own business. The products produced were four lavender-scented aromatherapy candles with a burning time of 4-6 hours and a long-lasting fragrance. From an economic analysis perspective, the potential profit reached IDR 45,000 from an investment of IDR 35,000 for four candles. The program proved effective in raising environmental awareness, fostering entrepreneurial spirit, and strengthening the creative economic skills of rural youth, while also offering an alternative solution for sustainable waste management.
