<![CDATA[This community service activity aims to enhance political communication literacy and raise awareness among the younger generation regarding the ethical expression of aspirations in public spaces, particularly within schools and on social media. The target audience comprises high school students in Kendari, members of the digital generation who actively utilize social media as a primary communication platform. The program focused on the strategic role of students as young political communicators in the digital era. The initiative was carried out in three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The preparation phase involved identifying participant needs, developing materials, and coordinating with school authorities. The implementation phase included material delivery, interactive discussions, case studies, and supporting activities such as digital quizzes. This activity was conducted across five high schools in Kendari: SMK Negeri 4, SMA Negeri 2, SMA Negeri 7, SMA Negeri 5, and SMA Negeri 3. Results indicate that this socialization program significantly improved students' understanding of political communication concepts, digital literacy, and ethical public speaking. This impact is evident in increased student participation during discussions, their ability to relate the material to school-based experiences, and a heightened awareness to critically evaluate political information on social media. Consequently, this activity is expected to foster a younger generation that is politically conscious, critical, and responsible in navigating the public sphere.]]>
