Abstract

This program introduces an innovative approach to empower the youth of Balongdowo Village through the development of batik-making skills. This initiative seamlessly integrates a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) framework deeply rooted in local cultural education. By adopting the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) method, this program strategically identifies and optimizes community assets, including indigenous batik knowledge, local wisdom, and the creative potential of the younger generation. This approach addresses the crucial need to evolve cultural heritage practices, making them more engaging, relevant, and interdisciplinary for contemporary youth who thrive on creative, collaborative, and experiential learning. A series of structured and highly innovative STEAM educational workshops form the core of this program. Participants not only master traditional batik techniques but also delve into the scientific principles behind natural and synthetic dyes (Science), explore digital technologies for motif development (Technology), understand engineering principles for crafting simple batik tools (Engineering), cultivate aesthetic appreciation and artistic creation (Arts), and apply mathematical concepts for product design and scaling (Mathematics). This hands-on, interdisciplinary learning environment aims to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of batik beyond mere craftsmanship. Expected outcomes include significant improvements in technical batik skills, a profound connection to local cultural heritage, and the cultivation of an entrepreneurial spirit driven by innovation. Ultimately, this program is designed as a sustainable model for culture-based education, ensuring the long-term preservation and dynamic revitalization of Balongdowo’s batik heritage through the active participation and ingenuity of its youth.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of batik tulis mentoring in fostering cultural-based entrepreneurship among teenagers in Jerukgamping Village, Sidoarjo. Using the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) Method, this research focuses on leveraging local assets as the foundation for training and creative economic empowerment. This approach emphasizes the strengths and potential of local communities in supporting youth skill development in batik tulis craftsmanship. Literature review findings indicate that asset-based mentoring programs enhance teenagers’ technical skills in batik production while raising awareness of the cultural values embedded in traditional batik. Additionally, training helps them identify business opportunities and understand digital-based marketing strategies. Key success factors include community support, access to local resources, and the involvement of experienced mentors. The study concludes that an asset-based approach in batik tulis mentoring has the potential to strengthen creative economic sustainability, preserve local heritage, and increase youth participation in cultural entrepreneurship.
