Abstract

Household plastic waste remains an environmental challenge in many rural areas, including Cijambu Village, Tanjungsari District, Sumedang Regency. Used plastic bags, commonly regarded as waste, have the potential to be transformed into creative products with functional and economic value. This article aims to describe the initiation of a creative economy empowerment program based on plastic recycling through collaboration among the community service team of Faculty of Cultural Sciences Universitas Padjadjaran, village authorities, and BIYA Project as a creative industry partner. The method employed was a participatory approach consisting of coordination, preliminary observation, partnership development, and preparation for training activities involving women’s community groups in Cijambu Village. The program engaged Keni Kurniasari Soeriaatmadja from BIYA Project as a plastic recycling practitioner who provided assistance in developing creative products made from used plastic materials. The initial results indicate strong support from the village government, reflected in the issuance of activity permits and the involvement of village officials in the preparation process. In addition, a training program on transforming used plastic bags into practical products has been scheduled for July 2026. This article highlighted the collaboration between universities and village governments, and BIYA Project represents an important initial step in developing a community empowerment model based on circular economy principles and sustainable waste management.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major nutritional problem affecting children’s growth and development, particularly in urban areas with high levels of parental busyness such as Gedebage District, Bandung City. Low nutritional literacy among mothers of toddlers is one of the main factors leading to unbalanced feeding practices and limited attention to child growth monitoring. This community service activity aimed to improve maternal nutrition literacy through an educational counseling program at Posyandu Palem. The program was carried out in three stages: preparation, implementation, and simple evaluation. The face-to-face counseling session lasted for two hours and involved twenty mothers of toddlers and eight Posyandu cadres. The materials were delivered interactively through discussions, visual presentations, and leaflets to accommodate participants with various educational backgrounds. The results showed an increase in mothers’ knowledge and awareness of balanced nutrition, particularly regarding the relationship between stunting, brain development, and children’s immunity. Some participants began to show positive behavioral changes in choosing food ingredients and preparing family meals. However, several challenges remained, including limited time, children’s food preferences, and lack of family support. Overall, this activity demonstrated that participatory educational counseling is an effective approach to strengthening maternal nutrition literacy and serves as a strategic step in preventing stunting at the household level.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to enhance high school students’ literacy about higher education through a guest teaching session introducing university life and foreign language studies. The activity was conducted at SMA Darul Hikam Bandung and involved senior high school students preparing to pursue higher education. The method employed was community education through interactive outreach combining lectures, discussions, and an introduction to basic French vocabulary as an illustration of language and cultural studies. The material covered topics such as student life at university, essential skills required for successful academic adaptation, types of university students, and an overview of Universitas Padjadjaran and the Faculty of Cultural Sciences. Students were also introduced to simple French vocabulary related to daily expressions and French culinary culture. The results indicate that students showed strong enthusiasm when learning basic French expressions and actively participated in discussions about university life. However, most students still expressed a strong preference for science-related fields such as medicine and engineering rather than humanities programs. This finding highlights a gap between students’ curiosity about foreign languages and their willingness to pursue related academic fields. The activity demonstrates the importance of broader outreach efforts to promote humanities education among high school students.
