In the twenty-first century, globalization has the capacity to transform the structure of social life. These changes and advances continue to escalate, impacting all facets of existence. Accompanying these transformations are numerous additional challenges, particularly cultural dynamics where modern cultural values frequently conflict with local wisdom values. Furthermore, comprehension of local value systems, which are vital for life, is often neglected. Thus, the purpose of this article is to analyze various approaches that can be employed to address this issue through revitalization, utilizing Henry Giroux's critical pedagogical perspective. The research method employed is library research, exploring various relevant literature sources. The findings indicate that utilizing critical pedagogy to revive local wisdom values constitutes an appropriate step in confronting the era of globalization and resolving problems related to cultural dynamics. This revitalization is implemented in character education, where local wisdom values play a crucial role in the community's sustainability.
