<![CDATA[Since 2009, UNESCO has designated Indonesian batik as one of the world’s cultural heritage elements. Batik is a product of cultural implementation that is full of meanings and symbols and draught in various motifs. The batik motifs can inspire from many sources, for example, histology. Histological batik motifs are gaining popularity among medical communities. However, the Indonesian people unknown it well, especially the community of batik artisans. Several batik artisans have merely been workers without understanding the meaning of batik designs. Unfortunately, batik designs generally contain certain philosophies, goals, and expectations. Therefore, the batik artisans need to gain insight into histological batik. The implementation method used consisted of four stages, namely socialization of histological batik material; the collaboration of histological batik design ideas between medical lecturers and batik artisans; histological batik designs competition; and assistance with copyright certification for the winners of the competition. Pre-and post-tests gave to assess participants' basic knowledge of batik motifs. This activity has succeeded in involving medical lecturers and the batik artisan community. Hence, this activity intends to increase the popularity of histological batik in the community further. This activity is also supposed to increase the diversification of batik motifs and their competitiveness on a global scale.]]>
