Abstract

Puhsarang Village is one of the religious tourism destinations in Kediri District that has the uniqueness of inculturation (adaption of church values and culture) as well as a place for meditative encounters of religious people throughout the region. The pandemic has hit the existing tourism sector and resulted in a decrease in small business income around tourist attractions. Some of the businesses affected include souvenir shops, wood sculpture, food stalls, and ‘bumbu kacang’ peanut paste production. In an effort to support Puhsarang's economic potential, the community service team carried out two main activities, namely product improvement assistance and designing social media utilization and marketplace management for local businesses. Secondly, promoting the art of karawitan as a unique characteristic of the Puhsarang tourism village. The empowerment method is carried out collaboratively with the PALAR approach, starting from the process of discussing business problems to the stage of reflecting on the business going forward. The assistance provided by the CED Team is expected to be a forum to support Community Cultural Tourism through the participation of local communities in exploring the potential of religious tourism and cultural inculturation that characterizes Puhsarang and ultimately can foster economic stretching around the village of Puhsarang.

Abstract

In today’s era of globalization, digital transformation, and increasingly competitive job markets, high school (SMA) and vocational school (SMK) students are expected to excel not only in academics but also in essential life skills. Abilities such as managing digital information and communicating professionally are now critical assets for building a career and achieving independence. Unfortunately, many graduates still face a gap between the skills they have and what the professional world requires. For instance, they often lack proficiency in productive digital tools like Microsoft Excel and have little awareness of the importance of developing a personal digital brand through platforms such as LinkedIn or professional email. To address this gap, the Professional Life Skills Training program was introduced as a strategic initiative to help SMAK St. Louis 2 students grow holistically and strengthen their future competitiveness. This training goes beyond teaching technical skills; it also fosters the mindset and attitudes needed to thrive in the 21st-century workplace.

Abstract

Perubahan iklim merupakan tantangan global yang berdampak luas, termasuk di Indonesia dan Australia. Salah satu dampak utamanya adalah peningkatan emisi gas rumah kaca (GRK), terutama karbon dioksida (CO₂), yang berkontribusi signifikan terhadap pemanasan global. Berdasarkan tujuan ke-13 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), pengurangan emisi GRK menjadi indikator utama dalam upaya mitigasi perubahan iklim. International Energy Agency (IEA) menunjukkan bahwa emisi CO₂ dari penggunaan energi fosil, mencerminkan tren kenaikan selama lima dekade terakhir. Di Indonesia, sektor ketenagalistrikan, transportasi, dan industri merupakan penyumbang utama emisi karbon, sedangkan di Australia, sektor energi, pertambangan, dan transportasi memainkan peran serupa. Kedua negara memiliki potensi besar dalam pengurangan emisi melalui pemanfaatan sumber daya alam yang melimpah. Hutan hujan tropis Indonesia menyerap CO₂ melalui proyek reboisasi dan pengelolaan hutan berkelanjutan. Australia memiliki peluang signifikan melalui proyek offset karbon di sektor pertanian, energi terbarukan, dan konservasi lahan, yang dikelola melalui skema Australian Carbon credit Units (ACCU). Pemerintah di kedua negara telah menunjukkan komitmen melalui regulasi yang mendorong perdagangan karbon. Indonesia memberlakukan regulasi terkait carbon credit pada tahun 2023, membuka peluang pasar karbon domestik. Di Australia, Clean Energy Regulator mengawasi pelaksanaan ACCU dan Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF), yang memperkuat peran sektor swasta dalam pengurangan emisi. Sebagai respons terhadap kebutuhan ini, XcareCo hadir sebagai platform perdagangan karbon yang menghubungkan perusahaan dengan emisi tinggi dan investor yang peduli lingkungan dengan proyek-proyek offset karbon terverifikasi di Indonesia dan Australia. Platform ini menawarkan solusi digital yang mudah, transparan, dan terintegrasi untuk membantu perusahaan memenuhi regulasi karbon, menyusun laporan keberlanjutan, serta mendukung pencapaian target net-zero. Dengan akses eksklusif ke proyek-proyek kredibel, XcareCo tidak hanya memberikan keuntungan finansial dan reputasi positif bagi perusahaan, tetapi juga berkontribusi langsung dalam mitigasi perubahan iklim global.

Abstract

The CED Program of Universitas Katolik Widya Mandala Surabaya aimed to empower small businesses in Ngrambe through service-learning and social entrepreneurship to address local socio-economic challenges. The program integrates academic knowledge with practical experience to promote sustainable development, community collaboration, and rural economic resilience. Using a structured methodology, participants improved their business operations by focusing on social media management and product development. The program supported 13 small businesses with 54 facilitators (9 lecturers and 36 students) from 4 institutions, which included international participants from 6 different countries. A preliminary survey identified the needs of local businesses, followed by planning and the implementation of service-learning projects. The program's impact was evaluated through targeted questionnaires. Small businesses in Ngrambe, Ngawi, benefited significantly from enhanced product packaging, creative digital marketing strategies, and business training, resulting in increased consumer interest and expanded online market reach. Meanwhile, participating students gained hands-on experience in business management and social entrepreneurship, while developing professional skills, cross-cultural collaboration, and social awareness. This collaborative initiative strengthened local businesses, fostered sustainable growth, and positively influenced the local economy and community dynamics.
