Abstract

Social media has been a significant influence in moulding young voters' political knowledge and engagement, hence improving their political literacy. This study aims to determine social media's role in increasing young voters' political literacy. The method used in this study is a literature review. The stages used in the literature review are article collection, reduction, display, organizing and discussing, and drawing conclusions. This study showed that social media has become a new domain for voters, especially first-time voters with competing candidate pairs. First, social media's role in political literacy is as an agent for disseminating information about political processes and development policies. Second, they become agents of accentuating views, opinions and even people's attitudes towards certain political phenomena. Third, social media is a public space for free discussion and political literacy. Fourth, social media has contributed to the promotion of democracy by carrying out the function of social control, for example the E-KTP corruption case.

Abstract

This community service program aims to improve students’ writing literacy and verbal communication skills through short story writing mentorship at SMPN 3 Meurebo. The initiative was motivated by the low level of interest and creative writing ability among students, which limits their capacity to express ideas and imagination in written form. Activities were conducted face-to-face using a participatory approach and the fun learning method to create enjoyable, collaborative, and reflective learning experiences. The program was implemented in three stages: preparation, mentoring, and evaluation. Evaluation was carried out using pre-test and post-test assessments to measure participants’ progress. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ writing competence, with the average score increasing from 41% to 83%. The most notable improvement occurred in the understanding of intrinsic and extrinsic story elements, demonstrating the effectiveness of the mentoring model in strengthening conceptual comprehension and practical writing skills. The program also had a positive impact on students’ motivation, self-confidence, and creativity in writing. Overall, this activity successfully fostered literacy enthusiasm and supported the development of a creative learning ecosystem. The outcomes are expected to serve as a replicable model for writing literacy programs in other schools, particularly in regions with similar challenges in promoting a literacy culture.
