Abstract

The creative economy is increasingly developing in various countries, including Indonesia. It is spread throughout all corners of rural areas. The implementation of the creative economy can be driven by the presence of a community that is required to be more energetic in actualizing new ideas; thus, it affects people’s welfare. A critical issue is how the creative economy community can encourage local wisdom; hence, local culture can continue to exist in community development. This research aims to reveal the JAF community’s roles in preserving local terracotta-based culture. The research method was a field case study in the JAF Community, Jatisura Village, Jatiwangi Sub-district, Majalengka Regency. JAF’s impact as a people empowerment activator community could be in the form of (1) fostering organizational enthusiasm in the community (the growth of community movements based on the focus of its work); (2) contributing to the community’s economy (many communities were developing their business ventures); (3) creating social networks (collaboration between communities not only locally but on a national and international scale); and (4) utilizing local wisdom culture (primarily related to arts, livelihood systems, social organizations, and knowledge systems). JAF also had implications for the development of the creative economy through the exhibition subsector, which regularly displayed innovative things at various festivals.

Abstract

Non-formal education (NFE) is a vital catalyst for empowering individuals and communities, especially within the transformative landscape of Industry 4.0. This study critically examines the intersection of NFE innovation and empowerment, encompassing theoretical foundations, empirical studies, and case studies illuminating the transformationative potential inherent in innovative NFE practices. The case study at the community learning activity centre Tenggang Raso in Indonesia is a compelling case where an innovative learning model seamlessly integrates vocational skills into its curriculum. The findings from field observations and interviews highlight the innovative and creative aspects of the learning model, emphasising practical skills and entrepreneurship to enhance individual employability and contribute to broader community development and empowerment. In addition, the findings underscore the efficacy of integrating practical life skills and vocational training in enhancing participant engagement and fostering socio-economic development. This research underscores the need for continuous innovation, strategic collaborations with local industries, and a focus on gender equality to ensure that NFE remains a dynamic force for individual empowerment and community development in the future
