Abstract

The project of public service implemented for this study aimed to improve literacy and Minahasan cultural values through folklore reading. The participants of this public service were 20 poverty-stricken children who lived in Paniki Bawah sub-district located in Manado, North Sulawesi. Before the public service project was implemented, the majority of them were only in the Word Level of literacy level and had zero knowledge about Minahasa folklore. However, after the public service implementation, most of the participants reached the highest level of literacy level, which is called Story 2 Level where they could rewrite their stories by paraphrasing them into their own words but did not eliminate any content of the folklores. This public service project was considered a successful movement and able to improve the participants’ literacy as well as their Minahasan cultural values.

Abstract

This community service aimed to strengthen the community’s capacity and potentials of Talawaan Tourist Village by integrating technology, capacity building, and cultural preservation. The program addressed four main issues: low tourist visits, limited digital literacy, low English proficiency, and declining cultural knowledge. To tackle these issues, the community service program proposed digital literacy training, English for tourism workshops, and establishment of both a 3x4 meter folktale reading corner and a digital e-library at wisatatalawaan.com. A total of twenty participants joined three training sessions, where they learned to create promotional videos, practiced English communication, and practiced managing digital platforms. The program produced both tangible outputs such as the reading corner, books, QR codes and intangible products such as training modules, website, and multimedia content. Community participation was notably high, with community actively enganged in video production, storytelling, and content uploads. The program generated significant impacts that include improved English communication skills, enhanced digital competence, increased visibility of Tunan Waterfall, and strengthen cultural identity. These outcomes are expected to boost tourism, generate economic benefits, and ensure cultural sustainability. Ultimately, the program positions Talawaan as a model for community-based cultural tourism that successfully combines traditional storytelling with digital innovation.
