<![CDATA[Dharma Tula at Pasar Intaran provides space and opportunities for the youth of North Bali to improve their social-emotional competencies. Thus, the youth of North Bali possess religious spiritual strength, self-control, personality, intelligence, noble character, and the necessary skills, as well as the development of Hindu educational literacy, which is the foundation of Balinese cultural customs. The aim of this research is to analyze and explain Hindu educational literacy and the process of Hindu educational literacy among the youth of North Bali through Dharma Tula at Pasar Intaran, Buleleng Regency. This research applies qualitative methods within the framework of a case study. The case study application at Pasar Intaran is conducted with the aim of understanding and analyzing the activities and construction of literacy based on Hindu religious education in North Bali. Dharma Tula at Pasar Intaran emerged as a response to the limited space for dialog in formal education and the gap between religious teachings and the realities of young people’s lives. This practice is not designed as an instructional or hierarchical learning activity, but rather as an open dialog space that allows for the equal exchange of ideas. The literacy process using the Dharma Tula format at Pasar Intaran takes place in a circular format. Dharma Tula participants sit in a circle without hierarchical position divisions. There is no single speaker who dominates the discussion; instead, the conversation develops alternately among the participants. The atmosphere of the dialog was relaxed yet reflective, with participants listening to each other before responding. In conclusion, Dharma Tula brings together various social actors in a relatively egalitarian and informal interaction atmosphere.]]>
