<![CDATA[This community service program aimed to strengthen the capacity of school learning communities through technical assistance in developing environmentally friendly ecobrick-based literacy gardens, utilizing the Pulau Bungin Urban Forest as an ecoedupark, and implementing deep learning-based instruction. The learning communities, consisting of elementary and junior high school teachers and principals organized in the Teachers' Working Group (KKG) and Principals' Working Group (K3S), were assisted through four stages comprising training, field practice, mentoring, and the development of contextual environment-based learning. The mentoring program was conducted over 32 instructional hours across eight sessions. The results strengthened the pedagogical and professional competencies of the learning communities in environmental management, optimizing the use of the Pulau Bungin Urban Forest as an ecoedupark, and designing contextual deep learning-based instruction. The program also facilitated the transfer of university research outcomes and appropriate educational technology to the community through the development of literacy gardens, ecobrick innovation, QR code-based plant identification as a simple educational technology, and strengthened collaboration among learning communities, thereby enhancing community capacity for sustainable environmental management. Integrating the program outcomes into deep learning-based instruction further enhanced teachers' competencies in developing contextual learning based on local environmental potential. The program also strengthened collaboration among universities, local government, and schools in environmental management. As a follow-up, the program fostered independent and collaborative learning communities that serve as role models for implementing environment-based learning and promoting sustainable community empowerment.]]>
