Abstract

Kandangan Village, known for its rich cultural heritage, faces challenges in preserving traditions and fostering youth entrepreneurship. The Student Organization Capacity Strengthening Program (PPK Ormawa) was implemented to increase cultural awareness, develop cultural infrastructure, and empower the younger generation through arts-based businesses. The program includes traditional arts and entrepreneurship training, digital marketing promotion, and the establishment of the Tengger Brang Wetan Cultural Museum. The museum serves as an educational center and tourist attraction, showcasing local arts, crafts, and oral traditions. As a result, community participation in cultural activities increased, leading to the creation of youth-led businesses in handicrafts, culinary arts and cultural tourism. Digital platforms also helped increase public engagement and tourism. The findings highlight the importance of cultural preservation as an economic driver, demonstrating that participatory approaches can sustain local heritage while promoting economic growth in rural communities.

Abstract

The Student Organization Capacity Building Program (PPK Ormawa) in Wotgalih Village, Yosowilangun District, Lumajang Regency, was implemented to empower the community by leveraging local potential. Wotgalih Village has abundant natural resources, including water hyacinths, and a strong batik-making tradition, both of which are underutilized. Through training, mentoring, and integrated production, the program transforms these potentials into creative, valuable products: “Gondo Laut” Batik packaged with woven water hyacinth crafts. Methods include observation, interviews, pre- and post-test questionnaires, and participatory evaluations to assess skill improvement and program effectiveness. Results show a significant rise in the community’s ability to process local materials into marketable goods, the formation of the “Guyub Ranu Batik” business group, and increased entrepreneurship among women and youth. The program also fosters collaboration among universities, the village government, and local communities to build a creative economy rooted in local wisdom. This activity improves economic welfare, strengthens cultural identity, and establishes an innovative, sustainable model for village development.
