Abstrak: Museum sebagai penjaga warisan budaya mengalami penurunan minat dari generasi muda, padahal memiliki potensi sebagai ruang edukatif yang menyenangkan. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk mendorong partisipasi generasi muda dalam mengenalkan keajaiban NTT melalui strategi kreatif berbasis media sosial dan melatih softskill penggunaan media sosial. Metode yang digunakan meliputi penyuluhan oleh dua narasumber dan workshop oleh satu narasumber, dengan fokus pada peran museum serta pelatihan pembuatan konten promosi. Kegiatan dilaksanakan di Aula UPTD Museum Daerah Provinsi NTT dan melibatkan 84 peserta (69 siswa dan 15 guru dari 15 SMA/SMK). Evaluasi dilakukan melalui angket (sebanyak 5 soal) untuk mengukur kepuasan dan minat siswa menjadi digital ambassador. Hasil menunjukkan 97% peserta merasa puas dan 100% siswa aktif membuat dan mengunggah konten promosi museum ke media sosial. Namun, lima sekolah masih memerlukan pelatihan tambahan. Kegiatan ini disarankan untuk dilakukan secara berkala dan konten siswa dipublikasikan melalui kanal resmi museum untuk meningkatkan literasi budaya generasi muda.Abstract: Museums as guardians of cultural heritage have experienced a decline in interest from the younger generation, even though they have the potential to be fun educational spaces. This activity aims to encourage the participation of the younger generation in introducing the wonders of NTT through creative strategies based on social media and training soft skills in using social media. The methods used include counseling by two speakers and a workshop by one speaker, focusing on the role of museums and training in creating promotional content. The activity was carried out in the Hall of the NTT Provincial Museum UPTD and involved 84 participants (69 students and 15 teachers from 15 high schools/vocational schools). The evaluation was carried out through a questionnaire (5 questions) to measure student satisfaction and interest in becoming digital ambassadors. The results showed that 97% of participants were satisfied and 100% of students actively created and uploaded museum promotional content to social media. However, five schools still need additional training. This activity is recommended to be carried out periodically and student content published through the museum's official channels to improve cultural literacy for the younger generation.
