Abstract

Climate change is an important educational issue that contributes to sustainable development. Students in urban areas play an important role as key contributors in mitigating the worsening climate change. This activity aims to increase the understanding of climate change among junior high school students in urban areas. The method used is a classical face-to-face approach with socialization and games using climate flashcards to convey information related to climate change. The evaluation results showed that the students' average knowledge of climate change reached 74.3%, but there was a lower understanding, namely 34.6%, related to adaptation and mitigation efforts. This finding shows that although the students' knowledge level is quite high, a comprehensive understanding of climate change is still lacking. Through this training, an increase in students' understanding of 93% was recorded, indicating that the socialization and game method using climate flashcards was effective in improving students' comprehensive knowledge of climate change. Therefore, this "understanding of climate change" training can be an effective model for climate change education for students

Abstract

Processing agricultural waste into value-added products is an important step in supporting sustainable agriculture. One of the wastes that has great potential to be processed is tobacco stem waste, which is often considered as waste without value. This educational activity aims to provide knowledge and skills to farmers in processing tobacco stem waste into liquid organic fertilizer. This education is carried out through a participatory approach, involving counseling, technical demonstrations, and direct practice. The results of the activity showed that participants were able to understand the importance of waste management in supporting agricultural sustainability. Participants also succeeded in practicing the process of processing tobacco stem waste into liquid organic fertilizer, which includes shredding, fermentation using local microorganisms, and packaging the final product. The positive impacts of this activity include increasing farmer awareness of waste management, reducing dependence on chemical fertilizers, and cost efficiency in their farming systems. In addition, the application of liquid organic fertilizer from tobacco stems can also increase soil fertility naturally and support environmental conservation efforts. However, there are several challenges in implementing this activity, such as the lack of supporting facilities and the need for further assistance to ensure the sustainability of technology adoption by farmers. Overall, this educational activity has a positive impact on improving farmer skills and innovative waste management, while supporting more environmentally friendly and sustainable agriculture.
