Abstract

This community service activity was carried out in Senggigi Village, West Lombok Regency, with the aim of increasing the capacity and social role of Senggigi residents, especially the TP-PKK women of Senggigi Village, as agents of change through the implementation of urban farming based on an Integrated Farming System (IFS). The activities included socialization, training in horticultural cultivation (eggplant, chili, tomato, water spinach, pakcoy), poultry raising, catfish farming through budikdamber and independent ponds. The activities were accompanied by intensive mentoring throughout the program. During the mentoring process, significant social transformation was observed, reflected in increased motivation, commitment, and solidarity among members, alongside the development of technical cultivation skills; as well as the initiative of TP-PKK women in implementing urban farming activities to improve family food security. The tangible products produced by the partners included eggs, homegrown vegetables, and catfish harvested during the program. This program provides a tangible and effective impact in strengthening family food security while also creating beneficial group activities, particularly in managing home gardens based on an integrated agricultural system in Senggigi Village.

This study explores the perspectives of EFL teachers on how integrating multicultural education impacts language learning in Multiculturalism and Language Education course at La Tansa Mashiro University. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through classroom observations, documents analysis and interviews involving two EFL teachers actively involved in EFL teaching and twenty students in this course, to explore the complexities and nuances of integrating multicultural education. The findings reveal that teachers’ awareness, understanding and strategy in integrating multicultural education in language teaching improves students' engagement, promotion of critical thinking and linguistic proficiency of appreciating and thriving in a diverse world.
