Abstract

Promoting multilingualism and cultural diversity is a strategic investment in community resilience and prosperity. This study highlights the importance of embracing linguistic and cultural diversity to build stronger, more inclusive communities. Drawing on examples from Indonesia and Songkhla, Thailand, this paper demonstrates how multilingual education, cultural festivals, and language exchange programs foster social cohesion, economic growth, and intercultural understanding. Participants in the International Community Engagement Program (PKM) exhibited significant improvements in understanding these topics through interactive presentations and discussions. The positive feedback and active engagement during the program underscore its success in promoting a deeper understanding of the benefits of diversity. As Kymlicka and Banting (2006) argue, linguistic and cultural diversity are valuable assets that enhance community strength and resilience. By implementing inclusive policies and initiatives, communities can harness the full potential of their diverse populations, leading to sustainable development and social harmony. This discussion underscores the necessity of investing in diversity to create vibrant, dynamic, and resilient communities.

Abstract

This paper examines the role of Differentiated Instruction (DI) in Kurikulum Merdeka and its contribution to SDG 4: Quality Education. DI addresses students' diverse needs, interests, and readiness by customizing content, processes, products, and learning environments. It aligns with student-centered learning and Profil Pelajar Pancasila, promoting creativity, independence, and adaptability. Key components of DI include content differentiation, process variation, product customization, and inclusive learning environments. Challenges like limited time, resources, and teacher readiness are acknowledged, with solutions such as gradual implementation, leveraging technology, and fostering teacher collaboration through professional learning communities. Reflective practice and ongoing professional development are emphasized to enhance teachers' instructional strategies. The paper highlights DI’s contribution to SDG 10 by reducing educational inequalities. Presented during an international community engagement program, the study underscores global collaboration's role in advancing academic quality. By adopting DI, educators create inclusive, equitable, and impactful learning environments, supporting the achievement of SDGs 2030 and preparing students for a dynamic world.
